Beautiful location and a nice property that worked great for our group. Property was clean with everything stated in description. The kayaks / paddleboards were a hit with our group.
This is our second time visiting this lake but first time staying at this property and it was AMAZING!! It is clear how much thought and preparation the host has put into this house to ensure their guests have a great visit. Plenty of room for our family to enjoy meals, games and movie nights together. Lots of fun aspects that the kids enjoyed like ping pong in the garage, shuffle board in the upstairs den, the hook and ring game on the back deck, swings/hammocks hanging from trees and the hidden loft over the hallway. The lake is beautiful and we loved our daily boat/kayak rides. Plenty of beach/water toys that kept the kids entertained for hours everyday. Very relaxing and peaceful trip! This is our second time renting from this host and both times he has been engaged, extremely friendly and very responsive. Highly recommend and hope to keep the tradition going by coming back in another two years!!
The lake house was awesome. The house had plenty of room for our family and was just a few steps from the lake. Chris provided everything needed for a relaxing and enjoyable vacation.
We enjoyed our time together at this beautiful home on the quiet lake! Chris was wonderful to work with.
We had 11 people ranging from 2 to 61 with plenty of room for more. Fantastic amenities inside and out, all in great shape! Outside there are kayaks, paddle boards, a pontoon boat, beach toys, outside games, fire pit, grill, hammock and swing - all were used! Inside the house is fully equipped and organized with labels so you can easily find things and know where to return them. We had some rainy, windy, chilly weather so the abundance of indoor games and the ping pong table were appreciated. Chris and Julie were fantastic hosts! They were quick to respond to some questions we had and even provided a personal touch when they found out it was our 40th anniversary. Good people who take pride in their home and sharing it with others!
Really nice home with all the amenities and boat included. Owner has been very communicative and helpful.
We were a family group of 6 kids aged 4-12 and 8 adults. We had an amazing time here. The house was well equipped with everything we needed. The pontoon boat, kayaks and paddle boards were a big hit. Beds were comfortable. Lots of room for us all to gather at meals. Chris was great to communicate with. We created so many great memories!
Beautiful home with many many extras. The babies played at the beach. The middles/bigs used the kayaks and paddleboard‘s and the seniors use the pontoon boat. With evening campfires, we spent most of the day outside in wonderful August weather. But there were many possibilities for indoor entertainment if the weather hadn’t cooperated. Exploring the house was a lot of fun …and I’m sure there were many extras that we have not yet discovered.
Just a suggestion-glass plates are impractical. Just get more dishwasher safe plastic ones. We would put a pic of the hall to the upstairs on the Vrbo ad. We purchased a gate to keep little ones on the first floor. Didn’t need to. Having the boat was a definite plus. Had a great time with our neighbors. Thanks for opening your home’
We had such great weather we spent very little time inside so didn’t take advantage of the games, etc. Loved how things were labeled in the home; made it so easy! The bathroom set up was a little awkward for our family but manageable. Most of us had AT & T and this cell service didn’t work great but I loved being disconnected.
The lake house was a great spot on the lake. House was very clean, and everything we needed for a relaxing time on the lake.
From the time we booked a year ago for our kids and their children to join us for a relaxing vacation, the communication and property information was seamless and very much as described. Excellent experience and would book the property again if the opportunity came up.
Chris’s property was clean, well organized, stocked with kayaks, paddle boards, a pontoon boat, yard games, beach toys for smaller kiddo… Our crew had many fishermen and they had great success catching bass from the lake. The backyard also boasts a Bonfire pit stocked with wood, plenty of chairs, extra chairs and s’more spears. There are also outdoor tree lights, a hammock and a tree swing are located under the mature maple trees. There are also two large outdoor tables for additional opportunities to enjoy summer on the lake. The interior is beautifully decorated as a log cabin lake house, fully stocked kitchen, bathrooms, everything has its place and is labeled so you can return them to their proper location. The garage was converted to a ping pong room with a wrap around couch, large fan to Stay cool, extra refrigerator, blue tooth speaker…. Hours of fun had by teens and adults. Chris was wonderful to work with. He answered my questions right away and was very friendly and accommodating to our family. We highly recommend this lake rental if you want a fabulous property to enjoy with a large family.
This home has a wide variety of indoor and outdoor spaces for both relaxing & activities. Our crew fully enjoyed the ping pong, corn-hole, fire pit, outdoor grill, shuffleboard & kayaks. It is set in a lovely quiet community perfect for a getaway from the “hustle and bustle.”
All I can say is it doesn't get any better than this! There were 14 of us, ages 10 months to 91 years old and there was more than enough space for everyone to be comfortable. The Secret Room was our littles favorite place in the house! The home is extremely clean, well stocked and oh so organized (My favorite part)! There was nothing not thought of right down to extra toothpaste and band aids should you need them. The sandy Beach and Calm waters were perfect for our little ones and enjoyed just as much by the adults. The quiet lake made it perfect to teach the kids how to Kayak and Paddleboard. Because the lake was so quiet, we were able to anchor the pontoon boat in the cove and let the kids (and adults) jump off and swim! By far one of the favorite things to do! The fire pit was a nightly favorite for the adults once all the kids were tucked in and asleep! Chris and Julie were both very responsive and extremely kind. Heck, we even got eggs out of the deal! You can tell how well loved this home is and how many wonderful memories have been made here. Thank you for letting our family share in those memories while making so many of our own.
