More than enough room for people to be together in a big group, while at the same time there is space if you want to break away into smaller groups. Cool to be able to fish off the porch. ##### James B.

Nice lake, hot tub, the setting is beautiful, plenty of space and seating for a large family. Lots of towels provided and a nice laundry provided too. The lower bathroom needs some love and there are some minor repairs needed to make this property a smidge better but I would book again. ##### Katie B.

It was nice having separate living areas to be able to spread out. Some updates/upkeep would put this place in another price bracket as the location was on point. We would stay again and recommend to anyone. ##### Verified traveller Stayed 2 nights in Dec 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Michelis V. 23 Mar 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Small Family Getaway It was such a great experience from the beautiful view of the pond to the amount of space there was inside! All of the amenities were great it had 7 rooms total so it fit everyone comfortably. Only thing that was a problem but they mentioned they’d fix it after we left was one of the bonfire chairs were broken so we had to grab another chair. Also they mentioned they had a check in the same day we checked out so it did kind of feel rushed because maintenance was already there before checkout time which they notified me about, but I would’ve still wished to sit down and enjoy the view one last time after locking up but wasn’t able to do so which is fine. Definitely hoping to go back soon! ##### Michelis V.

But the location was nice the outside was amazing and beautiful. Would return ##### Kristy K.

This rental had plenty of room for our extended family which is really three separate small families with each able to have their privacy areas yet all be together on the same property. We would come back. ##### Tim H.

We all enjoyed downtime together. The house was the perfect size and the apartment above the garage was nice to put the older kids in. If i was to give any critiques it would be the bathroom in the lower end of the house definitely needs redone......floors are smushy. Everything was very clean. ##### Debra E.

The kitchen light also turned on a Bd room waking up a friend at 4 in the morning. The hot tub had issues. The fishing was good ##### Andy B.

I booked the Island Retreat for My brother's Family of 4; my family of 5; my other brother; and my parents. 12 people total. This location was perfect for us; everyone got enough room to sleep comfortably. The dock was perfect with the shade on one side; we did A LOT of fishing! There was a canoe and peddle boat on the dock waiting for us. We used them a lot as well. There are 2 other locations on the same lake; we could hear others at times, but nothing disruptive. The location was safe and remote, but not too remote where you wouldn't be able to get any last minute things for your stay. This made for such a great and memorable trip for my whole family. ##### Benjamin H.

Accommodations were spacious. The location and lake were amazing. We had read in previous reviews about the hot tub not staying on, the bathroom floor needing replaced, and the cracked toilet seat. None of these were show stoppers for us, but the hot tub is a perk that is listed to gain attention. This needs to be fixed if you’re going to list it as an amenity And really? A $15 toilet seat? Just change it! Other than that and some quirky lights and switches, we had a great time and would consider staying here again. ##### Nichole J.

It has plenty of room with a lot of bedrooms. Unfortunately, the wifi never worked and the hot tub stopped working after the first night. The air conditioner in the second building (above the garage) never worked. One of the rooms had a hole in the wall and another room had a leak in the closet. I called the property management 3 times and was told they would reach out to their maintenance team and get back to me but I never received a return call. ##### Melissa S.

The 3 bedrooms in the main house did not have AC and the 2 above the garage the AC did not keep up so it was very hot. There was a window unit in the kitchen that worked but did very little for the bedrooms. I reached out to the manager who told me there were box fans for each room but when it's 80 degrees inside, those really do not help much. WIFI was unusable. There was quite a bit of trash under the deck unfortunately. Location was good and the lake was nice. The house has many half finished updates going on. Overall, all 12 of us were pretty disappointed in our stay but made the best of it anyway ##### elizabeth b.
