Four college friends and families have gotten together at different places in the country (20 of us) over the last 12 years. Our stay here at Lake Nepessing had the best view by a long shot. Walking out from the basement bedroom feels like an infinity pool seeing straight out the storm door into the lake. All three levels have unbelievable balconies. (The top one is attached to the bedroom.) The lake was amazing. Super clear for Stand up Paddle Boarding and wide open for water skiing/ wakeboarding, etc. on our ski boat. Fish jump costantly and the lake is so clear you can see them below the surface. We caught a few each morning. We saw DNR make a trip around the lake one time all week.The house is spacious and easily slept all of us. Boys crashed in theatre. One daughter slept on a blow up mattress we brought in the spacious bedroom upstairs with her parents. All other parents got their own bedroom. Dave provided 7 beach towels in addition to bath towels (an unusually nice addition). We used his SUPS and brought two of our own. We swam, played lake volleyball, pickleball at the community center 10 min away ping pong, watched movies on the full on theatre. We did miss a central dining room table on the main level, but played games on the kitchen island, outside tables and downstairs tables. We brought paddle bug zappers that made dusk and nighttime out on the balcony even more fun zapping mosquitos. Also loved the on the lake restaurant. Wonderful stay.
I highly recommend this property. The home is stunning. It was great for our family reunion. All of the bedrooms had their own bathrooms, the kitchen is beautiful and spacious enough for a large group to gather and help cook. Finally, the view from the decks are AMAZING. The sunsets and the lakefront scenics are incredible. We had a perfect vacation. All ages 2-83 enjoyed!
This was our second time! The second time was as great as the first time. The family got to celebrate an event and all be together. This time we knew to take our water toys to enjoy the total experience. On the rainy day, there is plenty to do inside including ping pong, the netted basketball, games and a movie theatre. During the nice days, we played volleyball and did some boating and fishing. What a great time!
We all enjoyed our stay at this home. Pictures did not do the home justice. Plenty of room for our entire group. Will definitely keep this place in mind for future stays.
This home was the only choice for 5 beds/baths but it also happened to be an amazing house. Right on a beautiful lake, newer home with fantastic design and decoration. It appears the owner uses it for their own family instead of just an investment. The best part was the home theater which made for a great family memory. Only regret is that our schedule was full of activities outside the house, otherwise we would have loved to spend more time there.
If I could give this property a 12 star I definitely would! This secret gem was perfect for a family get together. My 97 year old Dad was in his glory. No entrance steps, first floor bedroom and bathroom next to the bedroom. Main floor boasts a gourmet kitchen and family room. My father could take his walker all around and be part of all the activities. The deck overlooking the lake was his favorite. The young adults enjoyed their area downstairs. My sisters and brothers were upstairs. This beautiful home lacks nothing. The host was very accommodating. Thank you for this wonderful opportunity!
We spent four nights in this beautiful lake home. Very spacious accommodations and stocked with everything we needed. We brought our pontoon boat and were able to enjoy taking the kids tubing and hanging out at the sandbar. We also could play in the sandy area by the dock but recommend wearing water shoes. We all enjoyed the theatre room especially on the rainy day. We managed, but the many stairs could be an issue for anyone with a disability. A refrigerator on the lower level would be handy. All in all we totally enjoyed our time here and the host was very accommodating. Highly recommend.
Every year we do a family trip with a group of 12-14 people (teen to adults), and we always have a hard time finding a place with the right set up for sleeping and bathroom space. This house was absolutely perfect for us. Everyone had plenty of space to spread out feel comfortable.
The house itself is clean and beautiful with a serene view. Lots of seating options for big groups. Plenty of beach towels available. We brought some hammock floaties and games for the water, and everyone had a blast.
Dave was a fantastic host. Answered all of my questions before and during our visit. He even tried to find a place where we could rent a boat. Unfortunately neither one of us could find one, but I appreciate all of his effort to help us out.
I would recommend this house 10/10 and would love to come back!
This rental was perfect for a mini-family reunion. My family, my siblings and their families, and my parents all shared the house. Each group had their own private space and everyone felt like they had plenty of room. We brought a pontoon boat, kayaks, SUPs, and fishing gear to really enjoy the property to the fullest, but would still be a great spot even without these items. Swimming and fishing just off the dock was great. Movie theater was also a big hit with the kids.
Our family enjoyed this home so much!!! Wish we could stay forever. The host is amazing with communication and the home has everything for the ease of use. The lake was beautiful! We are all talking about what days we want to book again next summer!! Only thing that would of made it better was the use of a boat which we are looking into seeing if we can rent one locally and keep it there for our next stay.
This property has everything a family could need for a get away. Very thoughtfully equipped. Beautiful setting. The gouse is clean and very comfortable. Very nice host. Would absolutely stay again. Loved all the perks!
