We spent a long weekend at the lake house with several couples and their young kids. It was a very nice place to stay with good amenities, lots of space, fun things to do, and a beautiful lot on the lake. We weren’t able to use the pontoon since they took it out for the season. We did have some difficulty with sleeping arrangements since our kids are young (ages 1-4). Most of the rooms don’t have enough room for children to sleep in them with their parents. Two bedrooms do, but for the other couples and their kids it was quite tight. Otherwise a very nice stay!

This was a very clean, nice house. The house, and especially the kitchen, had plenty of everything. We had gas for the grill, gas for the pontoon, plenty of towels, and all the kitchen dishes and appliances we could need. They run a tight ship. Our only complaintvwas that we looked forward to swimming, but the beach and lake were a solid weedy slimy thing.

We had an amazing stay! This property truly has something for everyone—our family loved the water trampoline, volleyball, playground, and the beautiful sandy beach. The fishing was fantastic, and having a pontoon available made exploring the lake so easy and fun. The house itself was spotless, comfortable, and incredibly well equipped with everything we needed. Property owners amazing and accommodating! From morning coffee on the deck to evenings around the fire, every moment was perfect. We can’t wait to come back!

We really enjoyed our stay. The pontoon, the trampoline, the fishing and the quiet lake/neighborhood was a hit with everyone! There were 11 of us and the house was big enough so it never felt too crowded. Well stocked house and everything was labeled so it was easy to find items.

Perfect for family getaways!

This was our first time at the Burgen Lake property and it did not disappoint. We spent our days on the dock, in the boat and around the living room. The property allowed family from all corners of the country to reconnect, unplug and have a great Labor Day weekend. Michele and her property management team were responsive, helpful and polite. We hope to come back next summer!

Terrific location for family vacation

Our family of 9 adults and 9 kids enjoyed a lovely week at this beautiful property. The house and the property are well kept and perfect with many bedrooms. Our family mostly spent each day fishing and swimming, the beach front is exceptionally nice for our big group. The property manager, Amos is the best, so helpful if you have a question.

Another Fantastic Year at Our Favorite Lake Home!

Our family just wrapped up our second year staying at this incredible lake home, and it’s safe to say we’ve found our perfect getaway spot. The property offers everything you could want for a memorable vacation. The house itself is spacious and maintained well, with plenty of room for everyone to spread out and feel at home. The accommodations are comfortably furnished and equipped with all the amenities you could need. We’ve found it to be the perfect blend of cozy and relaxing. The lake is clean and clear, it’s understandable why we keep coming back. Fishing from the dock is always a highlight, with the lake offering plenty of opportunities to catch some great pan fish. Our kids had a blast with the swimming, trampoline, and paddle boats. The pontoon was a fantastic place for us to gather for an evening ride or middle of lake swimming antics. The volleyball and basketball courts offer entertainment for the adults while the children enjoyed the outdoor playset. The basement has a variety of video games for indoor fun. We can’t recommend this place highly enough. It’s become a special spot for our family vacations, and we’re already looking forward to our next stay!

Our family ranged in ages from 2-13. The kids loved the water trampoline, playing in the sand, volleyball games, fishing off the dock, paddle boating and all the activities inside. The adults loved that all the kids were busy and happy. Thanks again for our 4th annual family reunion. Looking forward to 2025.

Perfect location

This property was perfect for our family vacation. The long stretch of sandy beach kept the kids, all under 5, entertained and busy. They had so much fun. The pontoon was great and we had several fun rides. The kitchen is stocked with everything we needed to prepare our meals and there are plenty of dishes. Michele was always very prompt in answering questions. We also appreciated how close we were to Alexandria.
