We loved your home from top to bottom, inside and out. Great layout for big group of girls, family and friends. Large eating, card and game playing area for all of us to be together, very cool gaming floor for shooting pool, darts, karaoke, lg TV, and more! Fishing, swimming, kayaking right off the dock. Large deck right off main floor for all of us to watch the most fantastic view of the sunsets. 5 immaculate bedrooms with lots of room for each of us to have good sleep. And we all loved the huge kitchen ...perfect for an all women getaway! It rained all 3 nites so we couldn't have a fire but we will next time! Every amenity we needed, you had for us! Thanks! We hope to come back again!

Family of 10, six adults and 4 kids enjoyed the amenities of the home. Great deck for grilling and watching the lake. Dining table set up for ten. Large kitchen. Sandbox and swings for the youngsters. Fire pit for the evenings. Great pier for tying up your boat. And there are 4 bathrooms. There are basement activities as well....foosball, table hockey, pool table and home theatre.

We had such a great time in this home. We have 5 kids who were entertained the entire time! If they weren’t swimming in the lake, they were playing on the playground or in the game room! As the parents we loved the view of the lake and the swing and deck. There were plenty of rooms and more for our big family! Coffee shop is just a 5 min walk away with pizza and ice cream just around the corner! We loved it and hope to return.

Owners were gracious in letting us arrive a couple of hours early so we were able to get in some boating on a lovely Friday afternoon. Boating was facilitated by their private boat ramp and ability to tie up to their pier. Large kitchen and dining area meant everyone could sit at the dining table and multiple people could be in the kitchen at the same time. Cool morning meant exploring the home's many game rooms....such fun and a man land 4th bathroom. Little ones enjoyed the sandbox and swing set. Owner was very responsive to questions. A few items needed attention but that is often the case with vacation homes and nothing impeding us having a good time. We plan to use this home again.
