    This is a beautiful house with wonderful access and view of the lake. There is plenty of space to comfortably host a number of people. Something to keep in mind should you stay at this home: we were told that there could be issues with the water pressure during a storm, but we experienced frequent water issues during our stay. There were many times when there was no water flowing through the showers or faucets (couldn't brush our teeth or shower). Overall, a really beautiful home that can accommodate a big party.

    Access to water is just outside the door. Great water activities included (kayaks and floats). House has incredible capacity for a couple of families. We had a great family weekend and will certainly come back.

    Everything was awesome and as explained or even better. Totally beautiful week at the lake, quiet and calm. Lots of space for our group of 10. House has everything you need but you still feel like you've gotten away to the woods. Super responsive and welcoming hosts!

    This house was perfect for a large family gathering. The kitchen was well stocked with pots/pans and utensils. There was plenty of space to gather together and spaces to spend some quiet time. Beautiful views and the hosts were communicative & accommodating . The master bedroom is a bit of a hike from the kitchen/living area but does allow for some privacy. Highly recommend.

    Roomy, clean, and surprisingly private spot that can handle a lot of people. We hosted a swim team, and it was a great experience.

    Great for a large gathering. It was end of season. We were not able to really use the back part of house or master bedroom because it was to hot at night and not enough fans. We made do with the other parts of the house. Beautiful views and fun on the lake.

    This was a lovely spot! Calm view of the water, easy for the kids to swim off the dock, quiet location. We especially loved the fire pit and the fireplace for cold days, and the house was stocked with everything we needed, including fans for unseasonably hot nights. We got a bonus fireworks show from the next-door neighbors, which we all loved! While we had a smooth experience, the house was overpriced for its condition. It needs some maintenance. If you're staying with multiple families, which is likely for a house with this many rooms, note the layout. There are 3 bedrooms in the front of the home, but those do not have their own bathroom on that level -- they share the downstairs common bathroom (next to the kitchen), which needs an upgrade. The back of the house is newer and has another cluster of bedrooms, including a master with its own bathroom (and amazing view!) and another bathroom for the other bedrooms.

    Plenty of room for a large group (there were 10 of us), right on the water. Lots of activities available - you wouldn't even need to leave the property to have a great vacation! The kitchen is well-appointed and well-stocked; the living room is small but the gas fireplace made it a nice gathering area; the bedrooms are very comfy. Highly recommended!
