Our stay here was amazing! The pictures do not do it justice. The lake was beautiful and quiet, and the spacious deck was perfect for relaxing. The house had everything we needed - a well stocked kitchen, comfortable beds and plenty of space for 4 of us. Owners were friendly and great with communication. Highly recommend!

Amazing time on Douglas Lake

We really enjoyed our time here. 10 people fit here very well. We brought an extra cot to use as well. Amazing proximity to the island. Dock in water for boat access. The launch is close by as well. We were able to get old friends together and have the best weekend of the year. The neighbors are also fantastic and will likely welcome you in. Probably the best hot tub I’ve ever been in as well. Jeff was very responsive. Thanks for a great stay!
