    Very large and spacious home. The view is absolutely beautiful! Perfect distance away from all the business but can still get into town in a pretty short time. The kitchen was well equipped, and perfect for cooking family dinner. Would 100% book again if in the area

    We loved everything about this property. Toys galore for the kids and the beach and lake were perfect. We will definitely stay again.

    It's a well-used family place, not fancy, but large and sprawling. The kitchen is generously outfitted, the bathrooms are fine, some of the beds a bit soft, but there are plenty to choose from! The beachfront, too is spacious and sandy, though it's not directly accessible; the house's bluff-top site, though, makes for great views.

    12 guys in our 60's who have been together since college. Annual trip that has been all over the country. What was great is to easily accommodat all of us in one building and allowed us to not have to be crammed into a group of condo's etc.

    We had a group of eight guys for a golf trip. We were looking for something central to the courses we played. (Bluffs north and south, The Bear and Kingsley). The location was perfect and the rooms comfortable. Great evenings at the fire pit. Didn’t get to enjoy the lake, but hope to return sometime in the future. Would work great for large families.

    I give this stay 8/10. Many of my family would have given lower due to the beds being in rough shape and no AC. But the location and view is what you come for. Unreal spot. The house is a long hike down the hill to the beach across the road. The basement also smells terrible like it has mold and we could not use it. It also had old women’s clothing from the 1900’s in many of the closets that was very odd. The house hasn’t been set up to be a rental like most on this site. With that said I would stay here.if you’re someone who cares more about the location like I do.
