    The Roost was perfect for our family gathering! Our daughter was getting married, and we were hosting family at the cabins. Everyone had their own space with the individual cabins. The main cabin is very spacious and has everything you need. The three smaller cabins are adorable and it allowed everyone to have their own space. We all enjoyed the fire pit, that was our favorite place to just sit and enjoy the beautiful lake. The kids enjoyed the game room and shuffleboard, plenty for them to keep entertained. The hosts were wonderful and very accommodating, it really is the perfect setting for a family vacation.

    We had four families with grandkids ages 1.5 to 10, so the number of cottages was perfect. The lake was nice and sandy and shallow for the little kids we had there! They loved playing in the water, kayaking, paddling the water boards and fishing with our boat. We had a lot of things to do there such as shuffleboard (which is actually a lot of fun!), the game room with a foosball table and ping ping table. We played a lot of games! The s'more station was a hit and the hosts were very accommodating. One of the Keurig Coffer Makers broke, and they brought a new one out the same day we let them know!
