Great house with so much to do
Group of 10 adults had a blast. The game room provided endless competitive fun. The volleyball court was amazing and lights were a hige plus to provide entertainment even when the sun went down. House was very clean and the ample beds allowed everyone their own sleeping choice. The boat was an extra plus and included with the stay. Our group caught several fish. Beautiful area!!!!

Small wedding
It was gorgeous, my fiancee and I had stayed there after we graduated from our graduate program, our families were able to be there and it was the last place my mother was able to be with all of us before she suddenly passed. We had a small wedding ceremony and the foliage was perfect, the space was special, and it was the perfect weekend. Everything was clean and ready for us. Thank you again

Perfect for us
Within 10 minutes of arriving, my husband said he thought this was the best place we’ve ever rented. Why? The privacy and the view. We love this area in the fall and it did not disappoint. There were so many things to do without leaving the property. Our kids are younger, so they liked learning how to play shuffleboard and ping pong. The owners were very accessible (and we really enjoyed their game). But it really is the peacefulness, the quiet, the lake, the stars… it was perfect for us!

Amazing home away from home
This place far exceeded our expectations! From the scavenger hunt to the decor the place was absolutely amazing. Kitchen was well equipped, property was beautiful, we saw many bald eagles on the lake, kids and teens loved the game room and kayaks, men loved the pontoon for fishing and hanging on the lake, and the hot tub was nice and well maintained as well. We look forward to returning! This place had such a cozy, homey feel to it and the owners are extremely thoughtful in everything they have put into this beautiful cabin!

Something for everyone!
We had a wonderful time during out stay! There is so much to do here from playing in the game room on rainy days to going for boat rides or using the kayaks and paddle boards. Our dogs had a great time swimming in the very clean water as well! We had so much fun completing the challenges/games as a family. The owners were very easy to reach and assisted us very quickly when we had an issue with the boat. Nearby there are many beautiful hikes which we explored as well. At night we would have a fire in the fire pit and sit in the hot tub and look up at the stars...it was truly a magical vacation for our family.
The only negatives I can see are that there is no bathtub just two stand up showers...this was fine really we just had to adjust how we bathed our 1 year old. And the kitchen could use a few more pots and pans...we seemed to have a hard time finding lids to match pans etc, but these are really small things

Bachelor Party Weekend
The house and property are amazing. The photos don't even do it justice! Very secluded property. We had about 17 grown men and we had more than enough room for everyone to sleep comfortably. The scavenger hunt was a ton of fun to figure out. This house has everything you could want and more for weekend getaway! 5/5 stars. Thank you John & Donna!
