Exceptional family gathering place!!!!

Thank you so much for sharing your beautiful home with our family. We had plenty of room for 3 generations!! The space was perfect. Loved having indoor games and theater room for the slightly rainy time of our stay. Check in was easy. Ken was the perfect, prompt manager who responded immediately to a few questions we had! Fishing was wonderful….. many hours and many fish made for a perfect time on the water! Loved the hot tub, the dock, the fire pit, outdoor seating….. What more can we say? . We had a fantastic family vaca! Would definitely return for a repeat!!!

Great Stay on Lake Cowdrey

Great property for our large family. The kitchen had every appliance and utensil that you could possibly need, and the games (pool, shuffle board, etc) were used by all. Grocery, liquor, and bait and tackle stores were super close. Very clean, and communication with owners was fantastic. Highly recommend this rental.

Fantastic smooth experience

Property is even more spacious than you see in the photos, all my friends were raving about how nice it was to relax in such a great open space. The checkin process is super smooth and Ken made sure everything was in a good state before we arrived. There was firewood available (though we didn't have time to use, too many fun things to do!). The kayaks and SUP turned out to be a huge hit that made the weekend even better, lots of people appreciated getting to be out on the lake itself. Also appreciated that the cleanup/check-out process was straightforward and common sense - "leave it as good as you found it". No complicated micro-managing cleanout instructions that take hours like some places have. Felt like Ken trusted us to respect the home and treat it like our own. Hot tub was easy to work, as well.If you book this place, you will have a wonderful time for sure. Ken has such a high rating for a reason - it's that good

Great holiday stay!

The property was exactly as described/shown and was perfect for our extended family for the holidays. A short distance drive to anything you would need in town (and right around the corner from the YMCA which offers guest passes), tons of activities to do in the house, a huge kitchen, and the parge hot tub was an added bonus. Easy check in and check out.

Summer Fun

Large house, big kitchen area. We of course had the master suite which was perfect with its own loft for us grandparents to escape the children when needed. Nice boat dock and boat lift. Kids had fun catching endless sunnies from the dock with worms. Close to town and grocery store. Big garage. Nice movie room as well. All in all a fun week.

Family Cabin 2024

It was really difficult to find a house to accommodate our large of group and Kens house did not disappoint. The house was even larger than we imagined with spacious and private rooms. Great gathering areas to fit everyone and be comfortable all together. Everything we needed to cook and serve a large group. So much entertainment inside the house and out. Ken was great with communication and very clear with what was expected with the check in and check out process. Would highly recommend Kens place to anyone looking to stay in the area!

Great Place To Stay With Family

My family of 13 including children ranging from 2 months to 13 years were very pleased with this cabin and all it had to offer. Despite it being very cold outside, the cabin had plenty of space and activities for all ages. The view of the lake is wonderful. It was a quick drive to the YMCA which had an open swim for the kids. The kitchen was filled with plenty of dishes, cookware, and misc spices, coffee filters, etc… Would definitely consider staying here again if we are in the area.
