    The house is amazing! So much room. We had 7 of us and we enjoyed everything about the house and the outside space. The kitchen is a dream-double ovens and a warmer. Bar with ice maker. My husband absolutely loved the sauna. We didn’t really use the media room-but it looked great. The game table was right ip our alley-we played lots of rounds of Mexican Train on it! The beds are all comfy. It was nice being able to use the garage. Gary was a great host and very responsive. We can’t wait to go back again!!

    Pictures do not do the justice of how beautiful this home is. Brand new home, kitchen has all you need to cook for your group. Bedrooms have very nice beds, bathrooms are loaded with towels and toiletries. The view from the upper deck is breathtaking. Great neighbors. Would definitely rent this house again. Best bang for the buck.

    Could not have picked a better place to stay for the high school basketball team. We were welcome with open arms. It allowed so much bonding, and with that.The team went undefeated and captured the gold. Could not have done it without Gary and his amazing hospitality hohospitality, right

    The host very friendly and prompt to all of request. He came over to introduce himself and made we were comfortable. The only thing that was missing was TV’s in the guest’s rooms other than that my family had a great time gathering in the media room for movie nights. The kitchen was my mother’s dream kitchen. It had everything you needing to host guest. We will be back for future stays.

    This house was perfect for our extended family, and is on a smaller canal off the main body. The rooms are well appointed and house is spacious. The outdoor living area was perfect and the large island in the kitchen made a great central point for everyone to come together. I highly recommend, if you are looking for a place on the lake in Tool!
