This is a really great property! We had 10 adults and 4 kids and we all had plenty of room. The main room with the fireplace is an awesome gathering place. The big picnic bench on the patio was great, too. We spent a lot of time down at the beach, and we really appreciated the two kayaks, paddle board and canoe that came with the house. The swimming is great, nice sandy bottom and shallow for the kids. One really cool perk was catching huge bass and pike right off the dock! (It’s catch and release.) One other awesome part of this property is a boat launch right on the side of the yard. We’ve always had to drive to a public launch on other lakes, but having your own launch is the way to go! The lake is gorgeous, and very little traffic. If there was one improvement to be made to the property I would say replace the full size beds with queen beds. But overall, the house is so nice and the property so pretty that we agreed it’s one of the nicest VRBO’s we’ve ever rented, and you get a LOT of value for your money. We will definitely be back!
