Great family getaway

It was awesome to be able to keep everyone entertained with multiple areas to congregate but also allowing for space when someone needed to have a little alone time!

Great holiday stay!

The property was exactly as described/shown and was perfect for our extended family for the holidays. A short distance drive to anything you would need in town (and right around the corner from the YMCA which offers guest passes), tons of activities to do in the house, a huge kitchen, and the parge hot tub was an added bonus. Easy check in and check out.

Fantastic smooth experience

Property is even more spacious than you see in the photos, all my friends were raving about how nice it was to relax in such a great open space. The checkin process is super smooth and Ken made sure everything was in a good state before we arrived. There was firewood available (though we didn't have time to use, too many fun things to do!). The kayaks and SUP turned out to be a huge hit that made the weekend even better, lots of people appreciated getting to be out on the lake itself. Also appreciated that the cleanup/check-out process was straightforward and common sense - "leave it as good as you found it". No complicated micro-managing cleanout instructions that take hours like some places have. Felt like Ken trusted us to respect the home and treat it like our own. Hot tub was easy to work, as well.If you book this place, you will have a wonderful time for sure. Ken has such a high rating for a reason - it's that good

Great winter getaway

We stayed here as a belated Christmas weekend. The house was amazing and had so many things to do including a great hot tub. Snow tubing at Andees was a great close by activity. We plan to stay there again next year.
