    Extremely well stocked, great location, manager kept in contact. Only down side was hot tub cover, extremely deteriorated and extremely heavy, took three people to get on and off.

    We rented this house for a week with extended family (5 adults + 3 kids) and it was perfect! We played in the water every day - the lake was great and very comfortable to swim in. The kids had a blast learning to kayak, paddleboard, and fish. We had plenty of room to spread out but also enough space to gather together in the kitchen/main living space. Our kids dubbed this house The Adventure House and we'll be reliving our wonderful summer memories for many years!

    A true gem! We stayed at the Gladstone for five nights with my parents, siblings and their families. The house was clean, spacious, and slept everyone comfortably. The extra amenities like the hot tub, sport court and game tables were a hit with the kids! The kitchen was well equipped and the screened in porch was a perfect place to unwind to watch the beautiful sunset after a day on the lake. I would highly recommend staying at the Gladstone for your next getaway.

    From start to finish this property was just as it was listed....Beautiful, immaculate, views forever of this tranquil lake. We made so many memories between, fishing, kayaking, paddle boarding, sitting around a fire at night, and hot tub. Games forever we even had our own Olympic games in honor of the Paris games and laughed so hard. grocery store within 9 minutes along with bait & tackle and a coffee house. A much needed vacation with all of the amenities..

    Gladstone House was a wonderful place for our family to bond. Our adult kids and our grandkids loved all the options. There was much time spent in the water and on the pontoon, in the hot tub and the sauna, and around the campfire. We loved spending time in the screened in porch.

    We take a three generation family vacation yearly, eleven people ages 77 yr to 2 yrs old. By far this house was the best! Well stocked with everything. A very nice welcome basket was waiting for us. The house and property are beautiful. The host was very responsive to all our inquiries. We always go to new places each yr, but the house may make us reconsider.

    We had the best time up north ever at The Gladstone. The hot tub, sauna, and game table (air hockey!) all were perfect additions to days on the lake. We even took advantage of the telescope to show the kids the moon. Could not recommend the space more highly.
