As you reach the top of the stairs, you'll find a beautifully decorated queen bedroom with French doors, all-new furniture, and bedding. This room also boasts incredible views of the lake. At one end of the upper level, two bedrooms share a Jack and Jill bathroom. One of these bedrooms is a fun bunk room with two twin-over-full bunk beds, bean bags, a TV, and a child-sized teepee for the kids to enjoy hours of imaginative play. The other bedroom features a cozy and comfortable king bed. On the opposite side of the upper level is a large, beautifully decorated king en suite bedroom, offering plenty of space and a peaceful retreat.

The basement has been completely converted into a family-friendly getaway space.

    We had a wonderful family vacation and appreciated the chance to spend quality time together in this spacious home! The location on a quiet cove is peaceful and scenic, and we loved using the dock, kayak, and stand-up paddle boards. The large dining tables were perfect for family meals, the living room provided plenty of comfortable seating, and the ping pong table added to our fun. The two kitchens had ample space, making cooking for a large group much easier.That said, there were some challenges to be aware of: the HVAC system was not working when we arrived and it was extremely hot. The management company was very responsive and brought over temporary window units but temperature regulation throughout the three floors was still difficult. The advertised beach was unfortunately not usable due to fallen trees and logs, which was disappointing as we had hoped for easy water access. The electrical wiring in the kitchen is also problematic—you can’t run the microwave and toaster at the same time without tripping the fuse, and a maintenance person must reset it. Finally, the afternoon sun blazes through the large living room window onto the deck, and there are no blinds to provide shade.Overall, this is a great house for a large family gathering and has many enjoyable features. Even though it feels a bit “in rental condition” the management company was extremely responsive.

    We had 14 people, ages 15-85, on a family vacation at this home. The main living areas were spacious for everyone to enjoy and gather. The lower level was great for the young adults to have their own area for ping-pong and hanging out.The cove was quiet - we have stayed in other places on the lake where there are houses all around the cove, but this spot is not developed on one side so it was especially quiet. Property managers were great about communicating. When we arrived, there was only 1 SUP although the photos showed 2, and they delivered us a 2nd one the next morning to make sure we received what was listed.

    Was impressed with the facility and the quality from silverware to bedding. We had 13 people counting one child 11/2. Cooked out Saturday night and it was so nice that it accommodated all very easily. Young men enjoyed the paddle boards also.

    75th Birthday with 5 grandchildren and 4 kids with spouses. House was well equipped and great location. Only issue is how the HVAC system operates. Rather than heat separate floors horizontally the system heats vertically which results in bottom floors were heated unevenly and with kids it was far too cold. They were good enough to bring out a space heater which made things better. Instructions should alert people as to how the HVAC system works.

    Great location and lots of room for a big family/extended family gathering. Large common areas yet many private areas for when everyone needs a break. Easy check-in/check-out process. Excellent communication before, during, and after our stay. Would highly recommend!!

    We were comfortable and enjoyed our stay at the property. It was conveniently supplied with soap in the showers and sinks. Nice toilet paper, paper towels and even towels to use after a lake swim! Stand up paddle board and kayaks were an added bonus! Definitely recommend this property for a seamless getaway.
