    This was an amazing property and such a perfect location for our wedding. The hosts were extremely accommodating and helpful during our stay as well as the months leading up to the wedding. There was everything we needed right there and I can’t even begin to describe the breathtaking views. The only problem we had was not wanting to leave.

    We held our family reunion, The Coghlan Chaos 500, at this amazing property; it was perfect for all the fun and games we had organized for this 4-day party. It had anything we needed, a grill, a griddle, 2 refrigerators and even a nice 30-cup coffee pot. Great place for a large group! The family had a wonderful time fishing and swimming off the large dock. It was one of the most beautiful Verbos we have stayed in over the years!

    We had 19 family members stay with us, the house, lake and dock were great . It was hot but house was nice and cool. kayaking, paddle boarding and sunning on the floating raft filled our days. Had a couple of big tables to enjoy meals and games. Thank you for sharing your house with us.

    The photos online do not do justice for this beautiful home. We had a group of 12 traveling from Chicago for a graduation and there was more than enough room and space. They had lots of toys and games for the adults and the kids. The view was breathtaking of the lake. Highly recommend to anyone wanting lots of space and a relaxing trip.

    My family stayed here for a short winter holiday. The house is older, but very well maintained. Kitchen and bathrooms clean and well stocked. The location on the lake is ideal. More than adequate room around the pool table for a fun game. Highly recommend

    For our Christmas in July celebration with our 5 sons and their family, we rented Todd’s place and it could not have been more perfect!! Very well equipped and spacious, there was room for everyone to sleep and PLENTY of room indoors to relax and not be on top of each other (there were 24 of us). You couple an amazing house with an incredible lake lot, you can’t help but have a wonderful time. All of our kids left with such great memories and for that we are grateful. Would recommend this home in a heartbeat. Thank you, Todd, Georgia and Jim for making our time there perfect!!

    This was the perfect place for our annual family gathering! The property and home were clean and beautiful and Todd was extremely helpful and prompt in answering our questions. We all enjoyed boating and swimming and spending time on the dock. Our grandchildren also performed their own personal theater production amongst the waterfalls and thoroughly enjoyed fishing and the fire pit talks. This is definitely the place if you are looking for a tranquil lake experience with the perfect amount of family activities. We all had a glorious time! Thank you so much?

    Great place to come and stay. Plenty of space to gather for eating, fellowship, and games. Enough rooms for privacy and sleeping without everyone needing to get up at the same time. Enjoyed the water and land space.
