Pretty Property
Beautiful location and plenty of things to do with teens. Nice lake, hot tub, the setting is beautiful, plenty of space and seating for a large family. Lots of towels provided and a nice laundry provided too. The lower bathroom needs some love and there are some minor repairs needed to make this property a smidge better but I would book again.

Great stay
My family and I had a great stay. The house could use some updates, but nothing that made our stay bad. More than enough room for people to be together in a big group, while at the same time there is space if you want to break away into smaller groups. Cool to be able to fish off the porch.

This place is wonderful. Great for fishing and just sitting on one of the decks watching the geese. My family and I really enjoyed ourselves. We will come here again.

NYE Weekend
The property allowed enough room for our family and a few friends to come together at one location to enjoy the NYE Weekend. It was nice having separate living areas to be able to spread out. Some updates/upkeep would put this place in another price bracket as the location was on point. We would stay again and recommend to anyone.

Family Thanksgiving
We came together to have a family Thanksgiving. We all enjoyed downtime together. The house was the perfect size and the apartment above the garage was nice to put the older kids in. If i was to give any critiques it would be the bathroom in the lower end of the house definitely needs redone......floors are smushy. Everything was very clean.

Dad’s weekend!
Our stay was wonderful. The only drawback was the lockbox for the keys was difficult to find and also difficult to open. It also did not work when I went to put the keys back, so it would be much easier just to have the digital code on a door

Did It's Job
It was my son's wedding weekend and we wanted the bridal party to be able to stay in the same house. It has plenty of room with a lot of bedrooms. Unfortunately, the wifi never worked and the hot tub stopped working after the first night. The air conditioner in the second building (above the garage) never worked. One of the rooms had a hole in the wall and another room had a leak in the closet. I called the property management 3 times and was told they would reach out to their maintenance team and get back to me but I never received a return call.

Biker trip
The property was awsome. there were to many light switches that did not do anything. The kitchen light also turned on a Bd room waking up a friend at 4 in the morning. The hot tub had issues. The fishing was good
