It was the perfect getaway spot with plenty of beds and bathrooms, access to the lake, and outstanding kitchen!!! We had a brilliant time, and with six cooking mamas -- enjoyed the stocked kitchen, outdoor deck and dock, comfortable bedrooms, and basement game room. Highly recommend!!!

Our extended family of 10 loved our stay here! And this is why: Beautiful and clean interior; big, roomy kitchen (we weren't bumping into each other!); lots of bathrooms; big gathering spaces, including the deck and fire ring; and especially the lake access! The dock with paddle-boards and kayaks for kids was exactly what we were hoping for. We loved the peace and quiet of the neighborhood. Even though there are other residences close by, we never saw anyone. There were frequently boats and ski-dos on the lake, but they didn't pose a big problem. Our stay was during the work week, so it might be different on weekends. Hope we can come back again next year!

Wonderful few day with friends in an absolutely beautiful setting.

We had the best time in this beautiful house with absolutely awesome views. Allison was a wonderful host that checked on us throughout our stay. The home is well stocked with all the essentials. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and plan on returning in the future.

Lovely, spacious home with a with a large deck & a beautiful lake view. We also very much enjoyed our evening campfires in the fire pit area across the road, especially with all of the free firewood included. Great place for a large group. We would definitely recommend this home.

This property worked perfectly for our girls weekend away! Lots of space so we never felt on top of each other. Those who stayed up later made use of the lower level and ping pong table while the rest of us slept soundly. Beautiful views! Wish we had more time to stay, we were unable to squeeze in time for the fire pit.

Father’s Day Weekend

What an amazing place. We had a great time. House was super clean and conveniently located. Fish were biting right off the dock. Even though it rained most of the time, we found things to do. The pool table and arcade game were great. Property managers were very easy to deal with. Zero problems! This was a great way to spend Father’s Day. We will be back.

The view from the deck, access to the lake, and pool table were highlights of this property. The home was spacious, with plenty of sitting areas for entertaining, though the queen and twin bedrooms were quite cramped with low ceilings. The loft bed was a nice addition, and is placed in a tree-covered area of the house, so the person sleeping there didn't find that it got too light early in the morning. There were a few minor disappointments - we found glass on the deck, which was concerning, and the cushions for the deck furniture had been stored inside, but they were wet and a bit dirty when we went to put them outside.Overall the home was a relatively comfortable rental for two nights and was a good home base for our family gathering.

My husband and I are older adults. We did not realize the length of the stairs to access the dock/lake. Both of us had enough knee pain that we didn't go down to the water the last day. Better connections between owner and vrbo should have included info about the BBQ grill. We asked and were told it was a charcoal grill, so we bought and brought charcoal and starter. Our youngest grandchild is 6 mo old. The amount of space to put up a portacrib was so limited, her dad slept in the open bed. Lovely lake!!! Nice dock and great toys!

Awesome place and loved the blizzard!!

This timber frame Construction home truly gave you the nostalgia of country living. We came down to Marion to hunt ducks in the middle of a blizzard with five hard-core hunters. The place was perfect for all of us to spread out. The baseboard heat in the basement wasn’t quite enough to keep that part of the house warm. Other than that, we were shocked that propane tanks were not included with the gas grill. However, thank you to our wonderful host Alison her husband provided a propane tank of his own and drove through a blizzard to deliver it. I can’t say enough good things about Alison managing this place. Once we realized we had parking for our trucks across the street. It worked out perfectly. Unfortunately I didn’t get to appreciate the beautiful view because we were gone when it was dark and returned when it was dark. My son, however, stayed home one day and said it was Incredible and breathtaking. Just know it’s a very long drive back to the house on a winding hilly road. This is not a big deal of course unless there’s a blizzard. This of course added to the fun and makes you feel like a real expedition team. Let’s not forget the deer show every time you leave the house. The wood-burning stove was the highlight of this place and gave you that warm lodge feel that you dream of when you go to a winter cabin. They supplied everything you needed to cook and clean and I give this place a five star.
