    This is the second time that we have stayed at this property with our extended family. It is exactly as advertised and easily accomodates larger families. We love that everyrhing we need to relax and enjoy ourselves is included with the property (bikes, kayaks, SUPs, games...) so all we have to donis show up. The location is quiet and scenic amd makes for a perfect get away. Norm is very easy to work with.

    Our group of 8 adults and 4 children had a peaceful and relaxing week at this amazing vacation retreat. The beauty of the lake combined with the stunning home made this a vacation to treasure. The home is abundantly spacious and exceptionally comfortable. The kitchen is a chef’s dream; the boats for the lake were used multiple times every day. The garage is equipped with life vests as well as a variety of bikes, outdoor games, and high chairs. There is plenty of outdoor seating as well as a fire pit. We spent hours on the porch reading, playing games, and enjoying the beauty of the lake. The downstairs game area, exercise room, and theater added to everyone’s enjoyment. The house is decorated beautifully and filled with absolutely everything needed to make our visit comfortable and easy. Although we spent most of our time at the house, the surrounding area has a lot to offer: beautiful parks and fun towns to visit. And, finally, communicating with the owner was fantastic! He always answered promptly and was a great source of information for the surrounding area. Thank you Norm and Julie!

    The property was fabulous. We had twelve women and the number of bedrooms, the size of the kitchen, the two refrigerators, two dishwashers, two stoves and ovens were out of this world. It was so clean and well taken care of. Can’t say enough good things about the place. Would definitely go back again.

    We enjoyed a lovely Thanksgiving weekend at this beautiful, well-equipped and inviting facility with four generations of our family. The cottage is so spacious with something for everyone. The kitchen was a dream to work in with everything you could possibly need to host a beautiful weekend. The media room, the games room, the amazing view of the lake - everything was perfect. There was truly something for everyone. The hosts were very helpful and supportive. You couldn't ask for a better location or cottage to enjoy family time together.

    Perfect cottage. Everything is thought of by property owner. 8 bedrooms, each has 2 queen beds. Perfect for a large group. Basement rec room area so great for hanging out. Outdoor areas were perfect as well for corn hole and frisbee and hanging out by the water. Kitchen has more than enough of everything. 2 commerical fridges and freezers. 2 ovens. 2 drip coffee machines. Cottage is perfect. Zero complaints. Book it while you can, you wont regret it.

    Excellent, spacious just perfect in size for our family of 15. Rainy weekend so we stayed inside the whole three days. The home had everything we needed to keep everyone busy. Nothing we needed was missing.
