Scary start, but a wonderful stay!
Upon arrival we meet an ambulance in the drive, the person cleaning had an emergency illness, and upon calling the lady(Jill) I had been speaking with about key codes etc, found out it was her husband. House wasn’t completely ready for us, but I told her, no worries, we’d do what ever needed to finish,(wasn’t much) we were good concerning the situation and would be praying for her husband. Once we found out he was going to be ok, we enjoyed our family weekend. Unfortunately a breaker had flipped on the pier and had to text Jill and bother her knowing she had much worrying with her husband, and before we knew it the owner was out and flipping it for on for us. Through all this, they all were very sweet. Love this place and plan on going back next summer!

Perfect for a holiday family gathering
We ranged in age from 18 to 84 and all had a great, comfortable time together over Christmas. Owners were extremely responsive in getting a Wi-Fi issue fixed so that we could watch a movie together — we were especially thankful for that since a cold snap made kayaking a little less appealing. We’d gladly return!

2022 annual reunion
As our family is getting older, we realize how important these gatherings are. We have rented houseboats, gone to resorts, traveled in RV's, cabins and now we can add to the list a lake house. It was perfect! Our parent's are in their middle 80's and they were able to have the room needed to navigate a walker and just have the ability to have a little extra help getting around. They didn't feel crowded. The rest of us-4 siblings and spouses in ages of 51+ loved the closeness with the ability to run away from each other......ha ha ;-). Some of our adult children and grandchildren were able to join us....even if for only the day. The location was great! As we get older it's harder to be without creature comforts but the host made this house so inviting. Cabinets, drawers, light switches, etc were labeled. This was wonderful. We brought a boat and it was nice to have a boat slip and deck to enjoy throughout the day. The neighbors that we saw and visited with while on morning walks were very pleasant. We would DEFINITELY recommend this house for a getaway!
