We loved our stay here! It was the perfect house for our multi-generational family weekend—spacious, clean, and incredibly well stocked. We spent lots of time on the wraparound deck, by the fire ring, and out on the water using the paddleboat. The record player, great collection of records, and pool table made the house especially fun. Such a comfortable, welcoming place for our family to be together. We’d absolutely stay again!

Contacted Evan late in the evening for a last minute reservation for that SAME night. Luckily, Evan is very responsive and was able to accommodate our party of 10. The home is very well laid out with 5 bedrooms, 4.5 baths. Outside we found a large deck with a pergola, picnic table, couple of chairs & a BBQ grill. We located corn hole game & had a fun afternoon with that. Just a short walk will bring you to a private dock on Ripple Lake. Next to the dock was a kayak and pedal boat. On shore in a shed were the life jackets. Back inside, you can find a fitness room, an office with loads of books. We did find the board games and did play some. The rooms were roomy, beds had wonderful soft linens for a comfortable sleep. Highly recommend this place.
