We had an absolutely incredible stay at this VRBO—truly one of the best experiences we’ve ever had.Our family arrived on Friday—my husband and I, our three children and their spouses, and our seven grandchildren. We take an annual family trip each year, and this time we truly couldn’t have picked a nicer home.The home itself is stunning, perched high on a hill with breathtaking views of the frozen lake below. Waking up to that peaceful, picturesque scenery each day felt like something out of a postcard. On the other side of the house, there’s a walking and biking trail that stretches for miles, making it perfect for getting outside and enjoying the surroundings.What really sets this place apart, though, is how thoughtfully it’s stocked. The owners have truly thought of everything—plenty of towels, dishes galore, and even a high chair. We’ve stayed in many rentals, but this one goes above and beyond.Every detail has been considered, from the beautiful décor to the comfortable furnishings, and it genuinely feels like a home away from home. The grandkids especially loved the bunk beds—they thought they were the best thing ever! Everything you could possibly need is already here.If you’re looking for a relaxing, scenic getaway with all the comforts you could ask for, this is the place. Grab your coffee and a good book, sit out on the deck, watch a bald eagle soar overhead, and take in the calming sway of the tall pine trees in the breeze.We can’t recommend it highly enough

Great Memeories
Appreciated the fully stocked home. Towels, hot tub towels, robes. We didn't need these things but there was a high chair, play pen, baby gate. There were numerous kids games, adult games and puzzles. We had a great time away with our grown kids, but the house did have many sitting areas to "get away" for personal down time if needed.

Family Retreat
My husband and I wanted some time away from our busy lives with our adult children and grandchildren. This family retreat was about sharing time together, leaving behind our regular routines to reminisce and to make new family memories. This big cozy home was perfect. There was so much space for different styles of relaxing and plenty of games/activities. We enjoyed the hot tub over looking the beautiful lake and even roasted a marsh mellow treat at the fire pit. We planned our family meals by the kitchen island and were pleasantly surprised with all of the kitchen amenities. The only less than positive feedback which would not change my rating but might ad for the owners to fix. The interior doors did not lock, so we had to make a habit of knocking before entering any closed door rooms within the home. Otherwise top notch stay. Thank you for your hospitality. We have already talked about coming back this summer, but I can't even imagine there will be a week open with the awesome outdoor amenities these hosts have added.
