Such a clean and organized place! Location was a little more remote than we were expecting. Wish we would have been educated on the lake condition this time of year. We found lots of things to do and always came back to a beautiful home with amazing outdoor. Loved the outdoor cooking fire pit and privacy!

The home was clean, modern, and beautiful. The location was perfect (a few yards from the lake). the horseshoe driveway leaves plenty of room for everyone without playing car Jenga if one person wants to leave.Great Place!!

This was our first extended family vacation together. We loved the house. It was very clean and stocked with the essentials. Really enjoyed having coffee on the porch/deck. I wasn’t sure exactly where the lake was in relation to the house before we got there, but was hopeful it was near. The boat launch that is close didn’t have a beach area. The couch is not very comfortable and we wished there was more seating in the living room. Definitely not a deal breaker. We spent most days in the dells anyway. It was nice to come ‘home’ and not to a hotel. We loved that we could all stay together! The games in the basement were also a hit!! Lots of deer and turkeys around the area. Also got to see a bald eagle!

The stay was perfect for our women's weekend!! The outside area was amazing to relax on the porch and hang by the fire. The downstairs game room brought us back to our youth and had so many laughs!! Beach was very close, which was nice for driving.
