Great house to host a large family gathering! Served as our hub for a family reunion and the kitchen, common space and decks worked perfectly for hosting. Well equipped kitchen to prepare meals. Gorgeous windows and surroundings, right by natural waterfalls and of course right on the water. Dock was great with kayaks to paddle around. Wonderful location on the lake!
