This property was beautiful, relaxing and perfect for our family getaway! We had three families staying together — 6 adults and 4 children, all age 2 and under — and there was more than enough space for everyone to spread out comfortably while still having wonderful spaces to gather.The house was even better than the pictures — and the pictures are beautiful, so that’s saying something! We loved the beautiful old log-cabin decor combined with modern appliances, comfortable furnishings and spacious areas throughout. Everything felt warm, welcoming and relaxing.There was truly something for everyone. The game room, pool table, open-air bar, ping pong and indoor arcade-style basketball were big hits. We especially enjoyed the large dining table, high-quality grills, long deck with great lake views and hot tub overlooking the lake. The sauna and workout room were wonderful extras.The lakeside lot was beautiful, with a campfire ring, gorgeous views and plenty of room to explore with our four-wheelers.Our favorite part was definitely the lake access! There were plenty of kayaks and paddleboards, and we had so much fun kayaking, paddleboarding and swimming to the floating dock. There was also plenty of room for our two recreational boats, which was a huge bonus.The house was exceptionally well equipped, with all the cookware and kitchen supplies we could need, all high quality. Multiple bathrooms, washer/dryers and ample towels made things easy for our large group. We also
