    Host instructions very detailed. It helped us to know what to pack and prepare for. We thoroughly enjoyed all of the amenities that came with the house and the setting is beautiful. If you forgot something, Walmart delivers!

    We loved this house! The home was very clean and the host has thought of everything you need to have a great vacation. The host was very communicative and helpful with anything we needed. We had about 10 kids in our group, we all really appreciated the pool alarm system for safety.

    We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at this home. We traveled as 4 families for our annual trip and this house could not have been better. Rooms were all clean with functional bathrooms! The indoor pool was a an excellent touch. Fishing on the dock was slow, but I'm sure that the weather had something to do with it. Using the kayak to go further out may be a better set up. We will not hesitate to visit again for another trip.

    This house was breathtaking! The view to the lake, through all the trees was beautiful! My family and I very much enjoyed our stay. The house was very clean, very comfortable, had everything as stated in the guide. Check in and out was simple. If you are looking for private, this is it! This house had everything. The indoor pool was fun, the jacuzzi was perfect. This was my first time to the area, and it was great. I'm already looking to book again for the winter in this house to take in new views and activitives. We mostly spent our days lounging on the huge deck and taking in the nature scenery. It's tucked away, but close to restaurants and activities. I would and plan on staying again!

    We had 17 people in our group. We chose this house to accommodate our group for a family reunion. This house could not have been any better. The house is very spacious and had a great kitchen and plenty of seating. We loved that everyone had their own bathroom. Ken was wonderful to communicate with. I was able to get all my questions answered very quickly and he was fabulous to give us information upfront so we knew what to do for check in procedures and checkout. Thank you so much for sharing this house our family had an amazing time.

    The house is awesome, love the layout, the deck, games and outdoor spaces. House is showing wear and tear but to be expected. We had 16 men all over 30 in the house and left it very clean according to the host but his communication after the fact was rude and excessive. Wouldnt rent from this person again.

    Home was a great layout for our family. Lots of space for gathering. Hot tub, pool, kayaks, billiard's and shuffleboard provided lots of activities. Kitchen is well equipped. Home was clean; modern bathrooms were very nice. Deck furniture was in good condition and plentiful. Owner was responsive to my communications. I would consider staying in this home again, should our family vacation bring up back to the area.

    The home was better than the pictures even portray, the pool door alarm with littles made me feel so safe, the amenities were top notch and the newly redone bathrooms were gorgeous! We got snow and ice during our stay and the host was easy to contact and more than helpful with information and got us plowed out quickly! Couldn’t recommend this place enough!

    Our family throughly enjoyed our stay in this beautiful home. The home was beautifully kept and all amenities were outstanding. The lake view is gorgeous. We really enjoyed the hot tub. Our family did not use the pool, but it looked clean and sparkling! Pool table, shuffleboard and games were enjoyed by all. The spacious living room and family room gave plenty of room to spread out and and relax. The kitchen was well equipped and we found everything we needed to prepare family dinners. We couldnt have asked for more. The owners provide guests with detailed instructions which insure that this home is loved and maintained in excellent condition.

    The amenities suited all of our family's needs and more. We felt right at home. It's roomy, laid out well, and there seemed to be something for everyone, no matter the age. I doubt that we will find another place so well-suited for our entire family--14 and one on the way, ages 2-73. This was a vacation filled with life-time memories!

Our children and grandchildren had a blast with the SUP and kayak. The young ones especially loved the zip line! My husband and I loved watching them have so much fun! The large deck, hammock and fire pit were a hit with us!

    Our family of 11 adults had a wonderful stay at Drift Away. The 7 bedrooms and 7 full bathrooms afforded everyone the privacy they needed. We also found the amenities convenient and enjoyable, such as the dock, kayaks, canoe, stand up paddle boards, pool, hot tub, and fire pit. We would definitely rent this beautiful home again!

    Amazing lakefront property! We stayed as a group of three families and had more than enough space for everyone. The pool, hot tub, and private dock were perfect, and we loved having so many amenities right at the house — kayaks, paddle boards, tubes, and more. It truly had everything we needed for a fun and relaxing getaway. Highly recommend for groups or families looking for the perfect lake retreat!

    Ken was very responsive and easy to work with. The house was beautiful, clean, and very kid friendly. They have bumbo style seats, 1-2 swings, and a baby tub. The large deck has gates that can be closed to contain children and prevent falling down the stairs. There seemed to be life jackets for all ages. There is a sandbox with some toys. The pathway down to the lake was easy to walk even for children. Overall, I would highly recommend staying here!

    We had a great weekend with our friends at Drift Away. We picked this house for our annual family friend's weekend because of the outdoor space, indoor pool, and amble bedrooms. All were excellent. Our kids had a blast playing in the pool, riding the zip line, and playing in the downstairs space. The house was very family friendly with lots of beds and items to make the stay comfortable. There was a pack and play, high chair, and other baby/toddler items, too. We would love to come stay again!
