The property was ideal for our family of 6. Plenty of sleeping space and plenty of room throughout the house, we never felt cramped. The outside deck and yard is amazing, ideal for Lakehouse stay. Used the side yard to play bags and whiffle ball. We didn't get to use much of the garage party space, as it was too hot (but what a cool space). The location on the lake is second to none. We rented a pontoon boat, no issues docking. Swam off the end of dock. Caught a few fish! Highly recommended! ##### Jason G. Stayed 5 nights in Jul 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Jeff B. 22 Jul 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Lovely and Greatly Accommodating This property was consistent with its descriptions on the website. Clean, well appointed, comfortable in a beautiful setting. Although, not providing a fully modern kitchen (no dishwasher or disposal) it was a minor sacrifice when balanced against all the other positive aspects. Two full-size refrigerator/freezers are available along with a smaller “wine fridge”. Beds and bed choices were great, plenty of seating couch and chair space throughout the house and on the deck. Excellent WiFi with new TV. Bluetooth speakers available in the house and the associated separate “hideaway” building. Grounds we’ll kept with a beautiful lakefront view and lots of room for games or kids activities. Fire pit was used every night and a nice boat dock was perfect for daily use to tie up rental boat or fishing. Also quick and timely access to nice grocery store to grab last minute needs during the stay. Just a wonderful experience for our entire family! ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/3a2d8c1e-1699-44b2-ac95-c379fd5a0a4a-1753201711550.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/a0689742-8f99-41e4-a455-6391e025a686-1753201715160.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/4646e7e5-4cab-4114-90ce-26c8ca1905cf-1753201711424.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/98a1e688-b583-41cc-9b75-a3a1dbad6e23-1753201709509.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ##### Jeff B.

The backyard setting is everything you could want. Great Lake frontage, plenty of space for yard games. Kitchen is very old but functional. Outdoor garage/ rec room with extra refrigerator/freezer and drink fridge a huge plus. The manager Rosemary was great and very attentive to our needs. ##### Ashley H.
