We were impressed with the cleanliness of the property. The beach area was a little too weedy and muddy for swimming (probably due to draught and low water levels) but the kids played in the sand and did their swimming in the pool. The only negative was that the grill hadn't been cleaned after the last using but it was a minor oversight and we made sure to do it after our use. We enjoyed our family time and would love to come back if we can find open dates that work for our family.
Overall We had a wonderful time. The community was nice and not busy. Felt like we had the whole area to ourselves. Kids didn't want to swim in the lake after seeing a few leeches swimming around. But they all enjoyed the community pool. Everyone enjoyed fishing and little ones loved the beach/sand area. We couldn't pontoon in the lake due to the low water levels. We had to go to a bigger lake Big sand, which was a bit disappointing especially on a lake front property. The home was alot smaller than the pictures showed and the other properties were alot closer...not as secluded based on the pictures. All the couples loved that there was a sink in each of the lower bedrooms. There was a TON of yellowjacket wasps and a few of our family members did get stung but that didn't stop anyone from having a good vacation. My sister in-law did unfortunate forgot her very nice Japanese knife in the kitchen though :(...said it was too far to drive back for it...so everyone enjoy cooking with that knife.
We had a wonderful time at this beautiful lake home! The kids loved being able to swim in the pool and even got a close-up view of trumpeter swans. The house was clean and the kitchen had everything we could have wanted. Having 8 bedrooms was great and the living space was also good for a big group.
We made this reservation at the last minute, because another reservation fell through. The family had stayed here before. Melissa made the process very easy. We were grateful to be able to stay here. Having eight bedrooms and 4 bathrooms made it perfect for our large family. Everything was as promised and we only have good things to say. We would make one suggestion. It would make things easier if bath towels were provided. We would gladly stay here again.
We were here for the first half of March and it was very quiet, none of the neighbors seemed to be home and it felt like we had the place to ourselves. The lake was still frozen and absolutely peaceful to hang out on during the day and the stars were stupendous most nights. This house was perfect for our large group and never felt crowded. The only quirk was one of the upstairs toilets was really loud for the bedroom below it.
The home was open upon arrival and it was very clean. The 8 bedrooms and 4 bathrooms were plenty of room for our large group. The access to the lake was amazing! Our only wish was that they had updated bedding and provided towels. It was difficult to do dishes without even hand towels or wash cloths. Overall it was a great stay!
This property was perfect for our family. Grandkids shoveled snow off the lake to go skating and play ice hockey, half the group went ice fishing, some went Xcountry skiing on the lake, we played games. The house was especially perfect for nerf gun wars. We ended up pulling out all the living room furniture to find all the darts. It looked like we were the first ones to ever vacuum under the couches.
Lovely cabin ... enjoyed it all!
