Eclipse / Cousin Reunion 2024
The home was a great location the lake would be a wonderful place for a family to just relax and enjoy the water. We were a group of 10 Retirees siblings or cousins. We had to improvise a little on sleeping arrangements no one wanted the top bunk but the couches worked great. The kitchen and dining area were large and well stocked and labeled with everything you would need. You could use a new toaster. The checkin and out were easy. Thanks for a wonderful three days. Eclipse group twice in a life time!!!

wonderful vacation house!
My husband and two of our friends stayed in this beautiful lake house for three days. It's clean, quiet, open and beautiful. We especially enjoyed the sunset view on the lake. Winter is not the best time to stay there but we loved the peaceful and relaxing environment. 5 stars house!Sharon
