Beautiful stay

Thank you for the wonderful stay! We loved the house. It was great having all the space we needed for our large family party. We loved all the fun games in the basement, and even had a great day in the pool when it was sunny! Fishing off the dock was a trip highlight. My only caveat is that the lake is more like a larger river. Some of my family members wanted to go swimming but it wasn’t really conducive to that. But it would be a great spot for a kayak or small fishing boat! Thank you again to our incredible hosts.

Weekend away

Had a wonderful time.the house is lovely and in a great location. We had 8 adults and there was plenty of room for all. The kitchen was well stocked and made cooking and socializing easy. We didn't have the best weather so the fact that we could enjoy each others company indoors, play games etc without feeling overly crowded was a plus. Neighbor was quiet.

Family getaway

Met my sibling and his family here for a little family getaway. The house was clean and spacious. There was plenty of room for 4 adults and 4 kids to spread out. The kitchen was stocked with anll the supplies we needed to cook for our families. Unfortunately, we were there on a very stormy week and only got to use the pool for a couple hours one morning. The kids did have a blast though! We squeezed in some berry picking between rains and explored the little local shops. It was a cute little area! Would love to come visit again when the weather is better so we can really take advantage of all the great things the home has to offer!

Great Place to Relax

Had a great stay with my kids and grandkids. They absolutely loved the pool and managed to catch a few fish off the pier. The house was big enough that we could spread out but still remain close. Definitely a good choice.
