A wonderful stay!
We had a wonderful family gathering at this spacious home! We were a group of 10 adults. The view from the upstairs deck is at eye level of tree tops where we enjoyed watching and listening to many birds. Heard some loons and watched a family of geese swimming in the lake.Our son took his canoe out on the lake and caught a few bass. We had a couple family gatherings to attend so the rest of us didn’t get out.We would definitely come back to this beautiful home! It is spacious and beautifully decorated with fun artwork throughout!

Lake house
It is a very nice property and we enjoyed our time with our family. Just a couple things.
1.). We thought there was going to be a washer & dryer for us to use on site. When we got there we did not have one to use and my husband sent a message to see if we could use it as we have twin baby granddaughter’s that use lots of things that need to be washed. With no response from you on whether we could use it or not, my son had to wing it with the dirty bibs etc.
2.). We could not use the fireplace, first because we couldn’t find the switches to use it. Second there was a bat in it. I have pictures I can send you on that.
3.). The yellow fridge or freezer not sure on what it is. Is not working and not useable.
4.). When we went to use the grill there was a propane smell when you turn the tank on. Everything worked but you may have a leak just as an fyi.
Everything was great for the family and a lot of space to enjoy each others company. Thank you for sharing your home with us.
