Our group of 9 (a family reunion) including four teenage boys, had a wonderful stay. We would definitely come back again. House is very well setup and very clean and comfortable. Basement has four bunk beds and our four boys turned it into their special den! Main floor has two bedrooms which was really good for our elderly mother who has trouble walking stairs. The outdoor area was so nice and shady, with a great lake view and chairs for lounging. The highe d blackstone grill was a huge hit!
