    Really nice home, and it worked very well for our large group, but on arrival in 0F weather, there was no running water for several hours due to a frozen well pump, as the door had somehow blown or been left open. Thankfully, the issue was fixed the same evening, but the house was not ready at check-in, and no adjustment was offered other than sorry you can leave for a full refund. We were a party of fourteen with a lot of kids all of whom had traveled five-plus hours in three directions. The first response wasn't We will make this right either by getting you a hotel or another place or getting this fixed.When we pushed back that we had all come from a long distance, our host subsequently and quickly said she would try to get ahold of and dispatch her handyman, which she quickly did. Perhaps she was as overwhelmed as we.He came and was able to heat gun the water pump back to functionality.Winter guests may want to confirm systems are checked before arrival.

    My wife and I spent 2 nights at this wonderful place. It is a beautiful property with plenty of sleeping space , a great area for families to hang out with a great game room ( nice pool table and foosball and other stuff). We loved the cozy feel of the place , despite being very spacious. The place was very clean and comfortable and the owners communication was great. We would stay again any time . 5 stars! For sure.

    Our family was looking for a peaceful getaway and this house was above and beyond what we were hoping for. There is a great variety of activity and ways to relax within the walls of this house. We were able to share laughs and get rest in the comfort of this home. The decor is great and the charm helped us feel right at home.

    The house was perfect for our family of 12. Plenty of room, well equipped with games, including a pool table, foosball and card/game tables. The view from the wrap around deck was amazing. The kids said this was the best house we have rented for our annual gatherings. The yard was large and level and great for outdoor games such as badmitton, soccer and bocci ball. The firepit was a nice addition and allowed us to have our traditional smores night. We made use of the nice community resources, including the swimming pool, lake beaches and walks along the roads. The only minus is that the kitchen area was a little small, but the 8 adults managed to navigate the terrain without incident. Overall, the property and location were worthy of a return trip.

    The house is beautiful inside. The beds are comfortable. The kitchen is fully stocked. Having three bathrooms is a plus. I would definitely rent this home again.

    We pretty much liked about everything with Big Blue. The grandkids loved the community pool. There was privacy and the yard was great for all of us to have outdoor fun. The rooms were big and specious so we could watch one thing on TV in the main room and something else in the game room. Everything was great.
