Loved the house!

My two cousins and a couple of friends stayed here this weekend! We love how big the house is. Multiple bedrooms, we had 9 guys and everyone had their own bed. The oven needs to be replaced and the game room downstairs was awesome. It may need some updating in that room but it was nice having two separate places to hang out as a group. The fire pit is small but it did the job. The hot tub is an awesome feature but struggled to stay above 100 degrees (I’m assuming because of how cold it was). Communication with the hosts was perfect and they responded quickly! Overall we definitely would come back if we had the chance!

Lots of space and perfect location

We had a wonderful experience staying with 4 other families in this house. The 7 bedrooms were all a good size and there was plenty of space for all of the adults and kids to sleep (we had 19 guests). The basement was a perfect hangout spot for the kids where they spent two straight days playing games (pool, air hockey, shuffle board, and cards). The deck has a nice hot tub and a large table for outside dining. Overall, we had a great experience and the hosts were awesome. Their communication and flexibility was outstanding. We hope to stay at this home again this summer so we can use the other amenities and enjoy the lake.

Awesome Place

We were so grateful to have found this place. The grandkids loved the open space and how close it was to the beach and playground. The house offered an open space so we were all together although doing separate things. The fire pit was a hit with the grandchildren who made and ate s'mores. Thank you again for opening your home to us.

Me encantó que cuando llegamos el hot tub estaba listo y calientito, y cualquier pregunta que tuve me respondieron inmediatamente. El host fue muy amable cuando le solicité salír una hora después y aceptó. Es un lugar perfecto para compartir en familia tiene muchas actividades para hacer en familia.
