Great Location on that lake and set up was fine for our family reunion. Only real issue is the pictures DO NOT represent the rental appropriately. You see the owners house and views of the waterfront amenities. The rental is a separate building back by the street with no view of the water.

Great Family Long Weekend

The cabin was great for our family vacation, it had something for all ages. It was clean and had plenty of space for our family of 8. The outside amenities were great and the lake is a great lake to spend the day on the boat.

This place was perfect for our group of 7 and 2 dogs. Beds were comfy and the pool table was an extra bonus. Loved that we could rent the pontoon from John at a much cheaper rate then anywhere else. John was quick to respond when we had a question. Overall great place with a great host!!

Perfect guesthouse for our family of 11. Sectional sofa is huge and very comfortable, two teenagers slept on it all week. Private doc was great for our lund fishing boat, 4 kayaks and tubes, lilypad, etc. and we rented the pontoon too which was so nice to have right there. Wished we could see the lake from the guesthouse, but it was priced accordingly. Fireplace and chairs very nice too. Refridgerator ice maker did not work but we just bought ice.Overall amazing stay and week, would definitely go back!
