We rented this for a company retreat and each owner had their own private space plus we had several options for space to all be together as a group (there were 16 of us) The view is fabulous, the whole set up was just perfect for our large group.

The stay was amazing. Ben was very accommodating and quick to respond to any questions. We held a team building event over the weekend and I can't think of a better place to have stayed. Thank you very much for hosting us, and for all the help and assistance.

Family fun

We rented all 3 homes for our stay, so there was plenty of entertaining games for kids and water toys and chairs.Interior fireplace in the larger home was nice on the cold nights we were there.Really the only 2 disappointments we ran into was if you are planning to take a boat of any size to the lake make sure the State Park boat ramp is open. All of the other available ramps are way to shallow until quite far into the lake. We were unable to use the boat we took up until the last day of our stay when the ramp opened up from dredging. The pontoon that is offered for rent is only available for the entire length of your stay. It is not available for individual days we found out when we couldn't launch ours.The large deck with long outdoor table was very nice for our large extended family meals.
