This was one of the most well-appointed homes we've ever rented. The decor helped us truly get away from home but retained all the comforts of home. It was clean, low-maintenance, and had space for everyone in the family to either spend time in solitude or for us all to gather together. The lake was always in view from the main living areas and 3 and 4 season bonus rooms. I cook a lot and always bring my own chef knife when renting because the kitchens usually just don't "cut it," but this kitchen was fantastic and actually had sharp knives!
It's probably a different experience in the summer with more activity on the lake but I was able to get out on my large kayak twice from the public launch one street over. If the water was up just a couple feet, launching from the yard or dock would have been easy, but you have to expect that this time of year. The fire pit was great and in a nice location. The only update I would have appreciated would be an improved path from the house to the lake, but understand the difficulty with the hillside. We did have to contact the owner once (for an answer to a question that actually was in the checkin email) and he responded right away.
We have a teenage boy and girl, there was little arguing, they each read books, and said it was fun. We saw a ton of wildlife on the lake and I even caught a few bass from the kayak. A hike and the elk and bison prairie in The Land Between the Lakes was within an easy drive and enjoyable.
