Our family rented this property for a long weekend trip and had a great experience. We enjoyed the beauty of the local area, including some great local restaurants and coffee shops. We were snowed in for one day of our trip and enjoyed the coziness of the property and the full kitchen came in clutch to avoid needing to travel during the storm.
House was great perfect for our family. The lake was beautiful. Kids had fun kayaking and fishing. Would definitely go back. Our host was very accommodating.

Joanne and her party were lovely to host. They were respectful, communicative and wonderfully attentive to our home. I would welcome a visit from them any time!
Beautiful home on water. Perfect place to have family gatherings! Looking forward to another visit.
Best area for pizza, too! ( Kay’s)

Patricia and her party were an absolute joy to host. They were communicative, always pleasant, and left the house in incredible condition. A wonderful family, we hope that Patricia comes back to stay with us again, and again, and again. our door is always open for them :-)
Only 2 days were not enough for us. I wished we should have more days to stay. The view is beautiful and the property is clean. Highly recommend to all.

Tung and family were a joy to host. They handled the property with great care and respect. A lovely family that any host would welcome to stay. We hope the come back soon!
Kelly was an amazing host. She was incredibly inviting and friendly. If we needed anything, Kelly was there, ready to help. The house was beautiful and was perfect for a wedding weekend with our bridal party. We highly recommend Kelly and her wonderful house for anyone who wants a relaxing getaway or for a wedding party to stay and get ready for their big day on this beautiful lake.
I can’t even begin to describe what an amazing place this is. The pictures look exactly like the place and it was just so breathtakingly beautiful I can’t wait to book my next trip here! Kelly (the property manager) and her husband Denny were by far the best. They are both so caring and genuine and I just can’t say enough about them. You will never go wrong if you stay here. There is something for everyone to do with enough space that you won’t feel like you’re on top of eachother. Thank you again Kelly, see you guys next time :)
We got married at the Old Daley on Crooked Lake and booked both of Kelly's Sand Lake houses for our bridal party and closest friends to stay at during the wedding weekend. Kelly was helpful and responsive; a truly great host.
This house was a perfect addition to our booking; while we did most of our socializing by the fire pit or in the large kitchen of St. James Place, the basement living area in this house was the perfect spot for our night owls to hang out once the rest of us had gone to sleep.
We may have struggled with sleeping arrangements if we had more than 2 couples, but the 2 couples and 3 single friends stayed at this house and the sleeping arrangements were perfect. The 3 former college roommates got to relive their college experience in the basement bedroom and the couples each had a private room! I also think the basement bedroom would be absolutely perfect for children.
Overall, we had a wonderful time and definitely recommend staying at this gorgeous lake house.
