This as our third stay at this home with more to come. The grandkids love swimming in the lake and kayaking, and the home reminds my wife and I of the homes we grew up in (we’re in our 60’s).
Waterfront vacation home. This was our ninth year at Ross camp. For the six of us it’s ideal, room for everyone and a set up that works for us. Larry is a terrific host and always checks in to find out how our visit went. If you want a relaxing experience, this house fits the bill!
This cabin was absolutely magical. The photos and listing don’t come close to capturing how special it feels in person. Waking up on the lake, enjoying the peaceful surroundings, and watching the sunsets made for an unforgettable stay. It was clean, comfortable, and had everything we needed. We’d come back in a heartbeat and highly recommend it to anyone looking for a relaxing lakeside getaway.

Thank You Matthew for sharing your experience at our family getaway!
Cheers!
The owner had no problem calling me at odd hours before I had even started renting the house. During our stay, we decided to extend the reservation, and instead of sending one clear payment request, he sent multiple separate requests. I genuinely believed I had paid all of them.What I find frustrating is that the owner had previously been more than comfortable contacting me directly by phone, yet when one of the payments was apparently missed, he made no attempt to call me and resolve it. Instead, he went straight to VRBO to complain. Had he simply called me, I would have taken care of the payment immediately.Beyond that, the house itself was disappointing. The air conditioning barely works, and the property is uncomfortable, poorly maintained, and generally unpleasant to stay in. Overall, the experience was far below what I expected.
Overall, we had a pretty good stay. It’s a lot prettier in person, the pictures don’t do it justice. We spent a lot of the time swimming. And they had a lot of thoughtful things in their house, like a bag of ice in the freezer, tinfoil, sandwich baggies. I did bring my own garbage sacks & paper towels, which we did need - so take some of those. Just wanted to put this here for anyone possibly booking, there is a camera in the front driveway that you can see the whole front of the house. And I did get messages correlating to events that were happening on the camera, for example, after we left, the owners texted me. The other thing I wish was fully disclosed was the property manager is next-door, and she is lovely and super helpful, but it did feel like we were being watched the entire time. It was disclosed that their backyard camera could also see into this backyard - so there is zero privacy. I have never stayed at a place where the host communicated with me so frequently.Hopefully this is helpful for anyone else stating.
This is our 4th repeat stay at the lovely lake house. It's a lovely, comfortable home that allows guests to enjoy kayaking, paddle boards, talking a dip in the lake, drinking coffee in the morning on the porch, and even playing pool to see who cooks dinner!
Was a perfect girl's weekend in a comfortable house and lake access. Just what we needed for our floaties fest! The kayaks were an added bonus. Communication was great with all the right information at the right time! Thank you Levi!
Great property, this was our 3rd time staying there and we booked again for next year! It’s very clean and well maintained. Great communication! We missed the fire pit this year - hope it’s coming back! Boat launch is a major selling point for us.
We had a great family weekend stay at Larry's house. The home accommodated 3 generations quite well, and Larry was very proactive and attentive. Would definitely stay again!
Our family had a wonderful time enjoying this delightful property. The home had things to do for all ages and watching the fish feed on the lake was an early morning delight. Definitely recommend this property to all!
This is a beautiful location and the house has a lot of history. Very clean and well presented. There are a few things that could use some updating, but the big one is the air conditioning. It was quite warm outside, and it couldn't maintain a comfortable temperature. Overall, we enjoyed our stay and would stay here again.
We had a great visit. Plan to come back. Property met our needs to be local for a family reunion. Beautiful setting and all amenities were very good. We slept 6 comfortably
This was our third year at this property. Perfect for a group of people or family. Lovely backyard that backs up to the lake. Fun game room in the house. Looking forward to going back in 2025.
This is the second time I have brought my family here...and there will be many more. Only extreme positive things to say about this home. Owners are the best too. Will be coming back next summer!

This is so heartwarming! My Mom and Dad are certainly smiling from above knowing that many families are building memories at our family home of 6 decades! Our guest book is bursting with entries of the love and joy that people are experiencing here! Thank you for coming!
Great place to stay. Unable to swim off dock due to lots of seaweed. But a short paddle away from shore great swimming. Comfortable rooms. Had everything we needed. We would go back again.
Six of us have stayed at this wonderful home multiple times since 2018 and it has always been clean, comfortable and welcoming for our Girl’s Weekend! Larry is a wonderful host and has made improvements year over year. We look forward to being here again in 2025!
