We had a fantastic week long stay at this house with 10 adults and 1 kid! The lake and area were quiet but with lots of wineries convenient by boat or car. The house was clean and well stocked with everything we needed. We rented a boat for the majority of the week which made getting around the lake easier. The company we rented the boat from said the dock was a fair weather dock which caused issues for keeping the boat overnight, I'm not sure if this was that specific company or the dock itself but something to look into if you do a boat rental. We were able to swim off the shore at the house and play yard games in the flat area of the yard. There are quite a few steps down to the dock but not a big issue. The workout area, kitchen, and living spaces were great. There are two full bathrooms and what they consider a half bath in the listing actually has a tub as well. The host was quick to answer any questions we had. Overall an exceptional stay!

Pictures do not do this propety justice! Also, there is a 3rd bathroom. It had everything we needed, and it was very clean. The beach area was perfect for our family. We took the boat out and ended the evening at the fireplace with s'mores. The view from the deck was amazing! We all loved sitting on the rockers and looking out at the lake. During my stay, I had a few questions and they responded withon minuets. I cannot say enough about this property, we were.sad to leave!!!
