Couples golf vacation

The proximity to golf courses and the lake access made this house a perfect location for four couples to relax and have fun. The kitchen was well-equipped and there were plenty of dishes and glassware. We enjoyed a nightly bonfire after a leisurely pontoon ride. We even got in a couple of games of pool and air hockey! The gas grill, pontoon and kayaks could use a good cleaning but the interior was spotless and well maintained. While there really isn’t a beach area, the yard was large and patio area sufficient for our needs. The sunsets over the lake were a beautiful orange due to the smoky haze. This house would be perfect for 3-4 couples or large families who don’t mind sharing bathrooms as there are plenty of sleeping spots - especially the comfy theater recliners!

Relaxing cabin vacation

Overall, it was a nice stay. There was a lot to keep the kids busy from swimming, paddle boarding, kayaking to the game room in the garage. The cabin is located in a quiet neighborhood so it was peaceful! We took many walks, such a beautiful area and loved hearing the loons each day as well as seeing a bald eagle that would perch it’s self in a tree above the cabin! We had 13 people staying at the cabin and it was nice to all have a bed and to be able to spread out, the theater room was a huge plus!! Would definitely stay here again!!

Family time at the lake

11 of us stayed at this beautiful lake home. It was well stocked with all the necessities, dish soap, laundry soap, toilet paper, ect. The pontoon was great fun, as were the kyaks. An outdoor fire pit was great for a campfire with lots of chairs available. We have a great time.

Family Gathering

This place was so fun for our extended family to be able to gather and have enough space to enjoy spending time together. The views, fun toys, and wildlife were amazing not to mention very comfortable beds to sleep in at night! Would definitely like to return some day.
