Very nice place good for family and good for relaxing kids have really good time. I really recommend this place if someone is looking for time to relax and have a good time
The house and location was beautiful, easy to check in and out. Neighborhood was very quiet and friendly. My only mention would be that the home only had 2 washcloths for all 3 bathrooms so we had to buy some.
The house was perfect for your family get together. The river with little beach was so fun for the kids, plus huge yard to run around! Our kiddos were even able to catch fish on the dock. The house was modern and beautiful with lots of space.We had lots of fun and the house had everything we could need.Hosts went above and beyond, even bringing in and putting away our groceries since our flight was delayed. Thank you for your hospitality!

A Wonderful Weekend on the Water
We rented this home to house grandparents and aunts and uncles for a local high school graduation. It is as beautiful as the pictures suggest! The kitchen had lots of room for family to gather and cook, and was thoughtfully stocked with the needed serving items. There were lots of places sit and visit or take in the views of the water. The bedrooms and bathroom spaces were modern and beautifully decorated. There was lots of boat traffic zipping through which we found interesting but not necessarily quiet. The neighbors were not too close and although they too were enjoying the outdoors keep to themselves other than a courteous wave.

A true Retreat / Vacation !
The property is so big and spacious that the kids were able to run around freely and enjoy the grassy flat areas. The neighborhood is beautiful and tree lined too for perfect walks. We could stare at the water all day long right from the living room couch or kitchen because of the cool big windows. This place is great for a group and definitely a family to celebrate whatever!
We may snow mobile in the winter using this place.
