A Lovely home and property for a family vacation! Everything you need is there and much more! Very comfortable, spacious, well decorated and functional for entertaining: cards, games, and meals. The lake was beautiful and clean. There were 10 of us staying at one time and it never felt crowded. So many places to venture to relax or to play on this property! Jennifer was very friendly, quick to respond to any questions or needs! We will return again!Thank you Jennifer!

Friends Hot Tub Weekend

The space was perfect for our winter friends getaway! You can see the frozen lake covered with snow from the large front windows. We cooked ALOT and the kitchen was well stocked. A dip in the hot tub was the perfect end to the day!

Great getaway

The house and the property were beautiful! You can tell they put care into decorating the house, as well as the little details. Jen was always quick to respond to questions and was very friendly and helpful. My friends and I stayed for a ladies weekend, and we had the best time. The hot tub was a great bonus. It was clean and worked great. We hope to be back!

Family Time

What a great place! We really enjoyed our family time together. There was something for everyone. From the coffee bar to kick off our day to a fully stocked kitchen to cook meals together, to fun games to play together, to beautiful sunrises and sunsets. Jen was very responsive to any questions we had. Very blessed to have such an exceptional place to create memories.

We had an AMAZING stay at The Gatehouse. Jennifer thought of absolutely everything. There were water toys, games, everything you could need in the kitchen, and so much more. The property was beautiful and perfect for a group. The house is in a perfect location and is great to take a walk along the water. Everything from check in to check out was perfect and Jennifer made it so easy. We will definitely be back!

We really enjoyed our stay at The Gatehouse! The property had everything we needed and more. The neighborhood was nice and quiet. The house was so spacious. And the lake was great for my little nephews and grown kids too. We hope to come back again!
