My friends and I had lots of fun with the ping pong table and grilling in the backyard. Super close to the lake which was very nice. The beach part was closed off so we couldn’t get into it but there was a dock you could fish off of. The host was always available and answered all my questions! ##### Lindsey M.

The grandkids enjoyed the park and the lake. We grilled out for dinner and ate on the patio. Later we enjoyed s’mores by the fire pit. They also played ping pong in the basement. It was nice that the house has games and toys for little kids also. The only thing I wish the house had a dining table so we could all eat together inside. We enjoyed our stay. ##### Janice N.
