September 2025

We were 6 adults and 4 children, 2-8 y.o. The children stayed in one big bedroom. The huge daytime attractions were the wonderful beach, the large float and all of the watercraft. We noticed while paddling around the lake that most properties did not have a sandy beach area, so this was great to have. We ate lunch out under the pergola and roasted marshmellows at night around the good sized fire pit; the owner provides wood. The kitchen accommodated all the cooks in the family, the BRs were comfy, and on our one rainy day we played cards and made puzzles on the large d.room table. We brought our own beach toys for the kids, although there were a few playthings in a large covered bin down by the water; a couple kayak paddles were broken. Refrig. very clean, totally empty; many spices, oil & vinegar, flour & sugar and other staples in the cabinets. Large flat screen TV over the fireplace, big window view of the pretty lake. We all enjoyed ourselves and hope to return next year! p.s. The owner allowed us to check in 2 hr.s early as the cleaning crew had finished up!

August 2025

We were a group of 5 adults and 2 young boys (and a dog), and we all enjoyed it tremendously. The house had plenty of rooms/beds to accommodate us - note that one of the bathrooms is only accessible through a bedroom. Everything was in order when we arrived. The house is a truly water front - easy access to the water for launching water crafts or just go for a dip in the water. We used several kayaks and one paddle boat, even though the steering mechanism was broken, so we used an oar as a workaround. It has a water trampoline, alas it was deflated and unusable. The house has several TVs, which we haven't turned on, as we were outdoors most of the time. We had a minor issue with the septic system, which was resolved a few hours after we reported it. The weather was comfortable, so we haven't used the AC. A good chance that we'll return next year.

July 2024

Our family of 5 adults and 4 teens had a wonderful time here again this year. The house offers comfortable seating and sleeping arrangements for all of us and the outdoor amenities are superior. There were plenty of adirondack chairs and the private beach is a perfect place to soak up the sun. We enjoyed the starry night as we sat around the fire pit after a day of floating lazily on the lake. We all look forward to returning for a 3rd time next year.

I had an incredible experience at this property! It truly has everything you could ask for. The space is perfect for accommodating a great group, with ample room and a lively atmosphere. The lake access adds an extra layer of enjoyment, and the patio is absolutely amazing. I couldn't recommend it more highly!
