This had to be the best family vacation in recent history! 12 of us went to MN for my eldest sons graduation from college. This house was situated beautifully for our needs. There was 5 great bedrooms all with large beds. There was also a couple of couches to move to when a couple of our men ran their girls out of the room with their snoring lol! The house was so well appointed. I can’t even think of one thing it lacked. I made a huge meal for 20 people and we were all able to set out on the deck. There were plenty of chairs and two 6 foot tables that were able to be used. There were 6 bathrooms, most with showers. Easy peasy. The water does have a sulfer component so just pick up a couple Costco packs of water. Easy enough. Chris provided 2 kayaks and I think the kids (ages 26-14) had the best time exploring around. There were beavers, fish, turtles and tons of birds. Fishing was a lot of fun so bring your poles. I can’t say enough. It was worth every penny and was very affordable. Hats off to Chris. He was very responsive and kind. If I could give the house 10 stars I would! Thanks Chris!!!

There are a lot of things that need to be repaired and the kitchen needs to be stocked MUCH better. No measuring cups and spoons, no crockpot (although listed on materials) - the dryer sounds really bad - no outside lights on parking side - beach needs to be cleaned and more sand added. Faucet in bath/shower off kitchen really hard to turn - same as 2 years ago!

This place is HUGE! Pictures don’t do it justice. Our group of 8-ish people had a great time and fit comfortably. So many bathrooms is a blessing!!! Kitchen was great - could use a few basic stock updates like kettle, pans, etc but overall had what we needed. We could really swim from the shore/dock but rented a pontoon and were out swimming in the lake almost everyday. Also had great pan fishing; lots of bluegill and bass. WiFi was great and Chris was great at responding!

We had a wonderful fun filled week at your vrbo. We also rented the pontoon which we were able to use everyday. Really enjoyed taking sunset rides in it. Very nice lake. Plenty of room for our family of 12. Would definitely go back again.

The kids want to go back to the property again next year.

The yard and shoreline could use some TLC. The house is much larger than it appears from the outside. It was a great size for our family. We would probably return but would like to see the yard with more curb appeal.
