We really enjoy the space for our friend winter weekend! This is our second year here. The house is clean, comfortable with all listed amenities. Hot tub and garage with games is a fun bonus. This year we walked out on the frozen lake and into the state park across the way. Host communication is great. Highly recommend!

Friends Hot Tub Weekend

The space was perfect for our winter friends getaway! You can see the frozen lake covered with snow from the large front windows. We cooked ALOT and the kitchen was well stocked. A dip in the hot tub was the perfect end to the day!

A Lovely home and property for a family vacation! Everything you need is there and much more! Very comfortable, spacious, well decorated and functional for entertaining: cards, games, and meals. The lake was beautiful and clean. There were 10 of us staying at one time and it never felt crowded. So many places to venture to relax or to play on this property! Jennifer was very friendly, quick to respond to any questions or needs! We will return again!Thank you Jennifer!

Family Time

What a great place! We really enjoyed our family time together. There was something for everyone. From the coffee bar to kick off our day to a fully stocked kitchen to cook meals together, to fun games to play together, to beautiful sunrises and sunsets. Jen was very responsive to any questions we had. Very blessed to have such an exceptional place to create memories.

Perfection

We had an AMAZING stay at The Gatehouse. Jennifer thought of absolutely everything. There were water toys, games, everything you could need in the kitchen, and so much more. The property was beautiful and perfect for a group. The house is in a perfect location and is great to take a walk along the water. Everything from check in to check out was perfect and Jennifer made it so easy. We will definitely be back!

Great house… clean, modern, with lots to do! Location is just far away from any major city to feel secluded while having a convenience store a few minutes away and supermarkets less than 10 min away.Excellent for multiple families with 4 rooms and 2 showers, fully stocked kitchen with modern appliances and everything you need to cook large dinners. Lots of seating, TV’s throughout the house, Wi-Fi and board games/puzzles (even Karaoke!!!).In the garage, there are lots and lots of games for the family, including air hockey, pool, basketball and ping pong and lots of outdoor activities like kayaks, a huge fire pit and hot tub.You can comfortably sleep 2 large families, with 2 huge king rooms downstairs, and 2 rooms with a total of 4 beds upstairs. 2 large couches and dinner table that sits 10… even a separate space to make coffee and hot chocolate with all the fixings. This is a Great Lake home!
