This is a beautiful lakefront home with lots of room to spread out. The owners kindly allowed us to borrow kayaks and left their dock in the water for us to enjoy a lovely view of the lake. The kitchen was well equipped for the cooking that we did! The host kindly provided a loaded snack basket and a bottle of wine! We had a wonderful week at the lake!

We enjoyed the kayaks and lake in the afternoon and the game room at night. Also had a great time at the two nearby Wineries. Lucky Lure pizza was also a hit. Unfortunately we didn’t leave enough time to do some painting.

Perfect for a family stay

We rented this property and the Log Inn for a family stay and had a wonderful time painting, enjoying the lake on a pontoon boat from a local rental place, and just taking in the beautiful lawn.

We only stayed for 2 nights but everybody enjoyed the stay, especially the kids. There was a lot to do and entertainment for kids. The have pool table, ping pong table, lots of puzzles, card games, and more, plus a huge tv. The kitchen had everything we needed. The view was wonderful.

Memorial Day Weekend Getaway

Great weekend away. House is extremely clean and perfect for multiple family rental. Kids enjoyed painting, paddle boating and swimming. Beautiful views of the lake from living room. Dorothy and Jerry treated us as family since the second we booked.

Beautiful and secluded. Lots of space for activities. The beds exceeded expectations, towels for showers were plentiful. Private parking lot accommodated our six vehicles without issue. The kitchen was fully furnished. We did not need the additional kitchen tools that we brought ourselves.

Great family home

The 7 of us enjoyed some great family tome. Something for all of us from 13 - 68 years old. We all enjoyed the large game room. The kayaks were a hit with the younger ones. Very well stocked with everything we needed. The hosts were great.
