We really enjoyed our stay! Plenty of space to gather both inside and out!!! This spot was hands down the best stocked place we have rented!! From shampoo, trash bags, firewood, tons of board games, to life jackets and kayaks…I cannot say enough about all the amenities!!!

This house felt even bigger than expected. We were having a Christmas family gathering for the 4 days after Christmas were pleasantly surprised to find it nicely decorated inside for Christmas, including a tree. The linens were great, the starter supplies were good, and the bathroom soaps were nice smelling and appreciated. We loved the access to the kayaks and were lucky to have good weather and go out in them twice. They were already out on the dock for us. There were 2-3 adult life jackets and 2 youth jackets available. There were a few games and books available, and I have never seen a better stocked kitchen. There was a stand mixer, food processor, blender, griddle, air fryer, and more. Really our only issue was that there is no central heat or air in the basement and the basement bedroom where my daughter was sleeping. I felt that this could have been made more clear in the description, and I wouldn't count that bedroom if the weather is not expected to be mild.
