Plenty of room!

We had a great week with 10 of us coming together for some extended family time. Plenty of room for all and we really enjoyed using the provided kayaks to get out on the lake. The yard was large enough for games and the trails around Rochester shaded our walks/runs!

College friends get together

We had a great weekend at the house with college friends. We went out and caught fish, the house was nice, the communication with the owner was quick responses and very helpful, and was everything was very enjoyable. It was the first time we had ever done a VRBO or anything like it, but it was a very good first experience.

Wonderful lake getaway

We had the best time here with our family for an extended weekend. It was the cleanest vrbo I’ve ever stayed in and Justin was incredibly helpful with suggesting golf courses and was quick to communicate. It had everything you need and felt very homey. The lake itself was beautiful and the vrbo included two adult kayaks and a kids kayak which we used everyday. Highly recommend this property!
