We used the house for a family reunion. It was perfect! We had 14 people and the house provided plenty of space. It was very clean and comfortable. The kitchen is well stocked. We did a lot of cooking and it had everything we needed. The multiple deck levels with seating provided additional areas for people to gather and visit with beautiful views. Between fishing off the dock, playing on the playground, and games in the front yard, the kids were easily entertained. We would love to stay here again!

July 2026

On the Rocks was perfect for our family of 7 adults and 5 children! Our homes are in Idaho, Indiana, Pennsylvania and NY! We decided this location worked based on all of our transits across the country. First, the ability to dive right into deep, lovely, swim-able water right off the dock was a treat!!!! Second, the home felt like 'home'. We appreciated to no end the supply of kitchen garbage bags, dishes, cleaners, spices....everything...right down to cotton balls and q-tips supplied in each bathroom! We were not short on towels or blankets, ever. The playset and kayaks were nice extras. The kids had a lot of play time in their bunk room or lower level leaving the grown-ups a chance to talk and catch-up while they were happy and cozy. You will LOVE On the Rocks!!!!

On the Rocks is a well kept home, well equipped and nicely laid out. We had 7 kids from 6 to 13 that enjoyed the games, the swimming, the boating and the fishing. 6 of them fished and caught close to a hundred small fish off the dock. The weather was hot, so whenever a break was needed, the water and warm and clear for swimming and water games. The entire family had a great time and would recommend this home for a family gathering. Minor thing to consider: Its over 80 steps to get down to the dock. There are plenty of bugs outside but as we are farm families, nothing concerning. Thank you for a great stay.

The house was large & had several separate areas where we could be together or break into small groups or even be alone. There is a living room area (with comfortable furniture) & a nice family room area (with comfortable furniture). We enjoyed renting a boat from one of the local marinas, swimming from the dock, using the water trampoline & catching a few fish. Our large family enjoyed the beautiful, large island in the kitchen, the long dining room table, as well as the nice long table on the deck. There were comfortable chairs to sit around those tables. We ate there, played games & did puzzles on the large surfaces. The youngest members in our family enjoyed the sandbox & swingset. When we couldn’t get the bathtub stopper to work, they replaced that bathtub stopper by the next day. We appreciated their quick service. We made many new family memories!
