This was a wonderful home and we would highly recommend! We had 2 families (4 adults and 7 children) and had plenty of space to spread out inside and out! The house is well-stocked. The kitchen feels like you are at home - nothing is missing! Top of the line appliances, quality dishes, pans, bakeware, serve ware, etc. The living space was ample and made it great for everyone to spread out and enjoy different activities. The arcade game kept the kids busy, as did fishing off the dock! The area was quiet and private. Communication with the hosts was proactive, prompt, and clear. We really enjoyed our stay!

The house is located on the most beautiful, peaceful lake; it was just perfect for our family gathering. The teens and adults truly enjoyed it! There was so much space in the house that we never felt crowded. And the interior is so beautifully decorated. We would LOVE to stay here again! And it’s only 15 minutes from the Ark Encounter.
