We had a great time! The house was in a quiet area and very spacious. Was great for the kids with the pool (very safe with loud alarm for those concerned) right off the kitchen and downstairs play area. Adults loved the hot tub and updated bathrooms. We will likely rent again!

Home was a great layout for our family. Lots of space for gathering. Hot tub, pool, kayaks, billiard's and shuffleboard provided lots of activities. Kitchen is well equipped. Home was clean; modern bathrooms were very nice. Deck furniture was in good condition and plentiful. Owner was responsive to my communications. I would consider staying in this home again, should our family vacation bring up back to the area.

The house is awesome, love the layout, the deck, games and outdoor spaces. House is showing wear and tear but to be expected. We had 16 men all over 30 in the house and left it very clean according to the host but his communication after the fact was rude and excessive. Wouldnt rent from this person again.

Prior to this, 27 out of 27 renters have left 10/10, 5-star reviews. My "excessive" communication with this renter pertained to damages and additional maintenance caused by his group, and things they left behind which I mailed to him. Prior renters praise and are thankful for my communication; they don't call it "rude".

Our family of 11 adults had a wonderful stay at Drift Away. The 7 bedrooms and 7 full bathrooms afforded everyone the privacy they needed. We also found the amenities convenient and enjoyable, such as the dock, kayaks, canoe, stand up paddle boards, pool, hot tub, and fire pit. We would definitely rent this beautiful home again!

Amazing lakefront property! We stayed as a group of three families and had more than enough space for everyone. The pool, hot tub, and private dock were perfect, and we loved having so many amenities right at the house — kayaks, paddle boards, tubes, and more. It truly had everything we needed for a fun and relaxing getaway. Highly recommend for groups or families looking for the perfect lake retreat!

The amenities suited all of our family's needs and more. We felt right at home. It's roomy, laid out well, and there seemed to be something for everyone, no matter the age. I doubt that we will find another place so well-suited for our entire family--14 and one on the way, ages 2-73. This was a vacation filled with life-time memories!

Our family throughly enjoyed our stay in this beautiful home. The home was beautifully kept and all amenities were outstanding. The lake view is gorgeous. We really enjoyed the hot tub. Our family did not use the pool, but it looked clean and sparkling! Pool table, shuffleboard and games were enjoyed by all. The spacious living room and family room gave plenty of room to spread out and and relax. The kitchen was well equipped and we found everything we needed to prepare family dinners. We couldnt have asked for more. The owners provide guests with detailed instructions which insure that this home is loved and maintained in excellent condition.

Great weekend away

We had a great weekend with our friends at Drift Away. We picked this house for our annual family friend's weekend because of the outdoor space, indoor pool, and amble bedrooms. All were excellent. Our kids had a blast playing in the pool, riding the zip line, and playing in the downstairs space. The house was very family friendly with lots of beds and items to make the stay comfortable. There was a pack and play, high chair, and other baby/toddler items, too. We would love to come stay again!
