Peaceful stay

Beautiful home with plenty of room for lounging around. Very accommodating hosts. Plenty of things to do, from kayaking, board games, and a ping pong table that was used a lot! There is even a nice poker table in the loft area for card games. Plenty of countertop space for preparing meals. There are 2 different boat launches 10 minutes away in either direction from the house if you are into fishing or boating. Seen turkeys and deer in the morning while drinking coffee on the deck which overlooks the lake. Just off to the side of the deck was a large area for campfires. Would definitely recommend this place to stay. We are already looking at schedules for next year.

Just okay

Property looks like it gets a lot of traffic, which is great; but also could use a deep cleaning on all horizontals. Everyone has a different degree of expectations vs what's being offered I get it. Given that general area around the lake and premium rate, the property condition was average..

About the host

Hosted by Murphy Family

My brother and I purchased the property over ten years ago and have enjoyed every minute of this home. We have had great times with family and friends throughout the years here. My kids have learned to fish, boat, swim, snow ski, and have to come to appreciate the outdoors through our many trips to what has become our home away from home.

Why they chose this property

Our families have been coming up to the lake for over 10 years now. We have created so many great memories with family and friends, especially enjoying the peaceful and tranquil area and lake. Time seems to slow down, stress is reduced, and we are always able to focus on what is important in life.

What makes this property unique

It is hard to grasp how much there truly is to do here. There is something here for everyone. The close proximity of the home to a multitude of year round amenities is its unique benefit.
