Bay Lake Vacay!

This was our second year vacationing at this home. It’s great for our family and it’s a really fun place to be! We fished, swam, enjoyed Paul Bunyan land and Pirates Cove mini golf to name a few activities. The kitchen is fun to cook in and the deck and patio are perfect places to relax. We really thank John and Matt for making this special available for us!

Winter weekend

We stayed during very cold weekend, but found the Bay Lake home to be just what we needed with two fireplaces and a sauna! There are multiple spaces to stretch out and enjoy. We played pool, cards, watched tv, took a sauna in below zero weather too! We enjoyed the beautiful well appointed kitchen, there was plenty of room for dining as well. One of our favorite properties yet!

Annual Old Crony Golf Outing

This property is fabulous. Beautiful inside and out. It is exactly like the photos. We have been gathering in the fall for many years and this home moves to the top of the list. The provided accoutrements, especially in the kitchen, is incomparable to any place we have previously stayed. Bay Lake is a magnificent body of water and the frosting on the cake!

This property exceeded every expectation and was absolutely perfect for our family getaway. We had 3 families staying together (6 adults and 4 children ages 2 and under), and there was more than enough space for everyone to spread out comfortably while still having wonderful spaces to gather together.The host was exceptional—kind, attentive, incredibly responsive, and made sure we had everything we needed. Any questions we had were answered quickly, making the stay easy and stress-free.The house itself was ideal in every kind of weather. On rainy days, we loved having the game room, pool table, spacious layout, and big-screen TVs in every room. There was truly something for everyone. Large windows throughout the home let us enjoy the beautiful lake views even while inside, and the sauna was an added bonus and perfect for relaxing.Outside was just as impressive, with plenty of room for kids to play in the front yard and a beautiful lakeside setting with ample outdoor seating to enjoy the view. The toddlers loved riding scooters in the front yard, and the basketball setup in the pole barn was a huge hit.Our favorite part was the lake access—we caught fish right off the dock (including a big northern!), and there was plenty of room for both a pontoon and recreation boat. We loved gathering around the large dining table and eating outside while taking in the incredible views.We would absolutely recommend this property and would return in a heartbeat!

Bay Lake retreat

Oh my. Where to begin? This cabin is exceptional in all regards. It's beautifully maintained, well organized and stocked and the host/owner, John, is readily available and communicative. Our entire family stayed here for my dad's birthday, which also coincided with Labor Day wknd. John was accommodating in allowing us to check in a smidge early to decorate, and offered help as well. I've never stayed at a property that was so well supplied: there were so many towels!, which sounds trivial, but was great because we had a lot of people with us and didn't have to consistently do laundry. It's a short drive to town, and there's a list of different things to do and restaurants if you want to leave the property. We parked a family member's fishing boat at our private dock for the wknd and there's a small shoreline for kiddos to play on as well. It's a spectacular rental and I hope to be back!
