Love this property! It’s the second time we book the two adjacent cabins for our annual summer family vacation and we will be back! The houses and grounds are beautiful and offer ample space for a large group to spend time together, as well as plenty of secluded spots to relax in private. Highly recommend!!

This is our seventh year staying at one of John’s properties on Bay Lake. They are both beautiful and have everything you need for a week up north. We got a sneak peek at the renovations on the third house next door - it’s going to be beautiful. Our two families (4 adults and 5 adult children) had more than enough room to spread out but the house has intentional spaces to also be together for games and meals. The kids loved the sauna on the property and the basement was set up with young people in mind - a pool table, game table and a second kitchen. Plenty of firewood was available for campfires.John is the best host!

Perfect Family Getaway

There is something for everyone at this stunning Bay Lake retreat. Wonderful spacious cabin, games and beach for the kids and a gourmet kitchen for Grandma. The lake is great for fishing and watersports. Close to Rutgers resort for a quick getaway or spa day. Best thing about this years stay was the six year old skiing for the first time!
