We had a Bachelor party in the area and this was the perfect place! Close to the golf courses we attended and had a great beach area to cool off after a few rounds of golf. Plenty of room for a large group.

We stayed at this adorable house for a bachelorette weekend. There were 12 girls in total and the house slept everyone comfortably. The house was perfect for what we were looking for and activities inside and outdoors. I would stay here again!

Great to hear the house exceeded your expectations during your stay and you enjoyed the amenities available! We would love to host you again!
It was the perfect summer get away for our family. The house was as advertised. The beach and toys were fabulous. We had one rainy day, so we played with all the games inside. One thing to note, is you need to bring your own beach towels. We had a great stay!

That’s wonderful to hear you enjoyed the beach and the toys as well as the indoor amenities on the rainy day! Thank you for the note about beach towels as well - great reminder. Hope to host you and your group again for future stays!
Our goal was a family vacation/reuinion, so we had 4 families here. We also wanted to cook every meal and play games. I appreciated that the kitchen was functional, not just the bare basics. We were able to relax, enjoy the lake and be together. When i had questions the host was very responsive.

We enjoyed hosting you and your family for your recent vacation! Glad to hear you made use of the well stocked kitchen for cooking meals together. Hope to host you again in the future!
Booked this cabin for a surprise to celebrate my husbands 50th birthday. We brought nine people in our party. The teenage girls had a blast with the kayaks. They also said the beds were soooo cozy! Moms loved the delcious coffee and ease of having accessibility of washer and dryer on site. Plenty of outside seating, parking, excellent fishing off the dock. Our weekend went much too fast and so much fun was had. Thank you, Angela!
