A terrific Thanksgiving get away!

We spent the holiday here with 6 adults and 3 kids. It is a terrific property with a large open living area conducive to family meals, games, movies, and hanging out. The neighborhood is on a peninsula so very little traffic and great for walks. The deck overlooks the lake/marina and the big yard fronts the shoreline. A short drive to grocery stores and the Village make this a terrific location. Great communication before and during our stay with the property management company. Definitely would stay here again!

Great house

We had a family of eight including two grand dogs and this house was more than sufficient. It would be really cool to be here in the summer because they are literally on Metcalf day. We got Almost 4 feet of snow on Thanksgiving day and the power went out and roads were closed making this a Thanksgiving holiday we will never forget.
