Family vacation on the lake

We stayed here with our family of 10, aged 9-67. We didn't have enough towels initially, but the host was quick to get that rectified. We were on the lake every day but one, and the space was great for games and two family members worked remotely during our stay.

Family Getaway and Special Event

We wanted to celebrate our daughters 18th birthday and our wedding anniversary at a lake home and this place met our needs perfectly. Having so many sleeping spaces for our big family was great! It can be hard to find accommodations for vacation when you have more than 2 kids! The lake view was really beautiful, the kitchen was well equipped with everything we needed to prepare meals, and plenty of fun water stuff that kept our kids occupied in the lake for days! Having the pontoon was great as well. The host was responsive and gracious and we would definitely recommend this lovely home to others. Cheers!

Pre-holiday getaway

We picked a perfect week weather-wise, so a couple of us were able to get out on the water in kayaks. We also walked with our dog through the neighborhood, met some of the neighbors and felt welcome and safe. The house was comfortable, clean and well stocked. The only suggestion is that since we are all in our 70's, the last steps down to the dock could use a railing. Overall, it was a nice getaway!

Beautiful Lake Home

The lake home was beautiful and located off the lake. Lovely views and very quiet location. The home had lots of space and plenty of rooms to sleep comfortably. I highly recommend this home given the location.

The house is great! Lots of space for big group with amp parking area. Was surprised to see kayaks and multiple sizes of safety vests for all ages/sizes. Beautiful house directly on lake with beautiful views. Great fire pit with many chairs (we did not use) and great screened in porch-we did use. Rooms & beds were comfy & good size, nice size bathrooms.

Great Lake House!

Plenty of room for everyone and nice location for our weekend getaway. Far enough from the hustle and bustle but close enough to have things to do! Enjoyed an afternoon of antiquing and exploring Madison which is a short drive. Grocery store and gas station located within minutes of the property. Relaxing lake side location and views. Would definitely recommend!

We really enjoyed our stay, despite some challenges provided by Mother Nature. The property was "as advertised" and the owner was easy to work with and very responsive. This is a perfect spot for a family lake getaway.

We really enjoyed our staying at this beautiful house on the lake! The house is spacious, very clean, has a full kitchen equipped with utensils and dishes.

Great location, even in winter

Great place to stay and we loved our time here. Clean enough; some detail cleaning that the very kind owners should expect from their cleaning team. Lower level a great place to hunker down; with no windows it would be nice to have a working fireplace for a focal point. Rooms are spacious and plenty of storage. Fun little creative nooks throughout. We suggest working up some entrance way steps or something so wet or snowy entry through the front/side door remains safe. Also, maybe a patio heater to extend the fun to the enclosed back porch. We had a blast here, very comfortable and lovely.
