Better than we hoped!
The hosts were the best we have experienced. The home was everything advertised and we had an awesome week. No surprises, and the hosts made a us feel right at home. That isn’t easy with a group of 15.

Summer Family Vacation!
Jenn thought of everything! The house was well stocked with everything needed for the week! The small bay where the house is located provided a serene environment, while a short boat ride away you can enjoy skiing and tubing. Very easy to communicate with Jenn! We will be back!

A little slice of paradise!
Lovely home and property for our large family vacation. So many amenities I couldn't possibly list them all, but we really enjoyed the dock, paddle boards, and outdoor seating for our group of 17. We made many memories and rarely left the home due to it meeting all the needs for swimming, fishing, boating and water sports. Must rent if you have a large group looking for a fantastic vacation home.

Fantastic family stay
We stayed at this lakefront house to celebrate a 50th anniversary with 10 kids and 8 adults. We rented the jet skis and pontoon boat also. We had an absolutely wonderful week! Everyone in our group kept commenting on how nice the place was! Everything is wonderfully kept and there was so much for everyone to do! I would definitely recommend this place!!!

Family time together
We were very happy with this gorgeous, beautiful lake home! Jennifer thought of everything we might want or need to make our visit seamless between our home and hers. The extra special touches were appreciated. The whole family enjoyed S’Mores after riding jet skis all day. The large table was able to accommodate all of us for our family meals. Our all time favorite ❤️

About the host

Hosted by Jennifer Moneypenny

Host profile image
We are the Moneypenny’s (Adam, Jenn, Bishop, Aidan & Kellen) and as a family we wanted to create a space to enjoy the lake with our large family and offer our home to other families and groups to make fun lasting memories.

Jenn grew up with the tradition of renting a yearly cabin with her mom, aunt, sister and all their kids. Everyone looked forward to getting together for a fun relaxing vacation on the water each year. As the kids grew and had their own families the group became larger and larger. Finding a large enough space with all the accommodations were sometimes challenging so we wanted to make a space to accommodate large families and groups.

Why they chose this property

Our family, the Moneypenny’s want to create a wonderful memorable tradition for your family or group. Being in real estate and through experience we understand how important it is to find a great rental you can walk right into and let it be your home away from home free from worries. Let us help you have a wonderful relaxing time. Our home offers gorgeous lake views, swimming, boating, fishing, areas to entertain, fully stocked kitchen, lots of sleeping areas, linens, amenities, and many perks to renting. We want you to feel pampered on your visit. All you need to do is bring your guests, bags and food or enjoy the many local restaurants.

What makes this property unique

We have tried to maximize every square inch of the space to accommodate all your vacation needs. We look forward to hearing about your stay and anything else you would like us to add in the future.
