Family, Family and Family

Wonderful property for a large group. I felt like it didn’t matter what the weather was, we were covered for entertainment. It was beautiful for our stay, so we were in the water and on the pontoon!A couple of things that we had to go to the store for was dish soap and dish washer detergent and toilet paper. I thought the entire home had air conditioning, but it was only the common area. The bedrooms were warm at night. Those couple of things are not criticism, only making aware.Thanks for a fabulous stay!

This home has lots of space and was perfect for us to take our kids and grandkids. Beautiful home but the view , water and patio deck were what we enjoyed most. Absolutely loved the lake.

Beautiful Lake Avalon home- perfect for everyone!

Incredible!!! Stephanie and her family have updated this home beautifully. The way that the living space was utilized and updated could not have been better! This is a 4 season home! There is tons to do outside in the yard and in the rec room in the basement! We were in town for a family event and had a few questions leading up to check in, Stephanie was extremely and efficiently responsive with instructions and reassurance. The home was very clean upon arrival and when entering the home you are greeted with a open layout and a picture perfect view Lake Avalon! We will be renting in the future!!!
