Loved all that this home had to offer! Owner and property manager were so easy to work with and quick on responding!House was clean the amenities perfect and the lake view spectacular!I will be back!
Our stay was great. Driveway was steep but made the trip to dock and back way better than last house we stayed at. Overall we all had a wonderful trip!
We love staying at the Gemstone! This is our second time at the house and it is amazing. The dock is great for a boat and the house is exactly as described.
We always enjoy Gemstone! Tons of space, great location on the lake, great dock and boat slip! It’s our favorite after many years and many different places. Thais was our third year!❤️
This property was even better than we expected. Perfect size for our three big families for our annual lake trip. Kids loved the game room and bunk beds. Adults loved the kitchen and living room! Tons of kitchen accessories made it so easy to cook and bake for everyone. 100% will stay here again if it’s available next time!
The house and boat dock in a nice family friendly cove was beautiful, clean, well stocked with all extra things to make our vacation almost turn key, including a variety of life jackets. The home is very well kept, modern and all of the beds and bedding were comfortable and high end and as always the lake is awesome and the fishing was great!! Thank you for sharing your home with our family :)

What a great property. We stayed with another family who has teens also. There was plenty for them to do. Docked our boat easily to the dock. Kitchen was well stocked with all of the cookware that you could need. Plenty of space for everyone. The teens loved the movie/game room downstairs.
Beautiful home, clean, updated, open living concept. Had perfect amount of rooms, bathrooms and beds. This home accommodated 6 families and all ages of their kids! It was a great family vacation with a beautiful wedding!! Everyone had a blast on the dock with the Lilly pad, kayaks and paddle boards! We left a gate, pac-n-play and infant bassinet. There were already gates and a pac-n-play tho. If we come back here again, we’d love to rent this home again!!
We enjoyed some relaxing time on the Lake. We did some fishing, swimming, rented a boat, and some relaxing. The house is a great location on the lake. Beds were comfortable. Loved the ice machines and coffee maker with water already filtered in.... Enjoyed the paddle boards and kayaks. If I were to suggest anything.... A few things needed some "TLC" The BBQ grill was worn out and some of the boards on the dock needed some attention. Just some basic wear and tear that needs to be addressed.
We would absolutely stay there again. Thanks for having us....It was great!

We have addressed these issues and we appreciate being notified of them.
The property was exactly as advertised and amenities were as good as expected. We were surprised to find two microwaves in kitchen area, as well as ice machines both upstairs and downstairs. One item of concern if you have handicapped, or elderly, individuals coming to stay is the amount of stairs required to be navigated. Outside of the limited parking, steep access to the property, and the number of stairs required to navigate, this is an excellent property for a large family. We had 22 people in our group (when everyone could be there), and we had sufficient room for everyone to sleep with no issues. Kids were very happy with the dock and toys they could use around the dock.
This is a nice home for large families. The kitchen is wonderful with two ranges, two dishwashers and two microwaves. Having two ice makers was also nice. Also lots of seating with three different areas to relax in. The kids loved the game room and fishing and jumping off the dock. Being able to use the dock for our boat was a plus. The only drawback to this house was the steep driveway and all the stairs. There are three different sets of stairs, which can be a pain carrying groceries and luggage from the car in or going down to the dock. Overall it was a really nice home for large families, but if anyone has mobility issues, it could be a challenge.
Finding a place to house our 4 families that allows for everyone to have their own private spaces and provide entertainment from grandparents down to 4-6 year olds and everyone in between is no small feat. Gemstone knocked it out of the park and was an amazing space to accommodate all. The property manager met us at the house and walked us through how to use the property. they were patient with us and answered all our questions quickly. The property had everything we could have possibly imagined and even more. Boasting two of everything in the kitchen this place was planned out for large groups. A gorgeous setting in the woods to spend time together. We made memories that will last for generations to come. We can't wait to get back to this retreat on the lake.
Our family of 11, ages 10 to 70, enjoyed this home so much. The house was great and spacious, and very clean!!! All the cooking utensils anyone would ever need. It was great!!
I take my kids and grandkids every summer to PK. This was rated our favorite place by all of us. Driveway is sketchy but doable and totally worth it. House couldn’t be more perfect for a large family. There were 12 of us. Was great having the boat slip and so peaceful back in the slough!❤️
