Stayed there as a base while dealing with family stuff. Was nice to come home at the end of the day and unwind. We could gather in the large comfortable living room, play games in the dining room and each had our own space downstairs. We loved staying there and working on a fun family weekend next year.

Amazing large family rental

From prior to checking in through the duration of our stay out expectations were far exceeded! The house was large enough for our family vacation of 20 and the location was perfect. A playground and beach within walking distance and plenty of indoor activities for the rainy times! We will definitely be back!

Excellent gathering space for large group

Unique place with sleeping arrangements for 23. Huge kitchen area well stocked. Lots of room for people to gather both upstairs and downstairs. Straight lake, which is nearby was also very nice as we brought a boat. Members of our group said they’d be willing to come here again we gathered as a large family get together.

We loved the stay! The property was amazing and we would absolutely stay again! The only item to update is check out time, online it says 1 pm but at the location all over the house it says 11am, so just a note to update that. Beautiful place, lake just down the street, dishes and cooking items there for us to use, comfy beds! Thank you!!

Very clean, well maintained, well equipped home.

We had our four children, their spouses and several of our grandkids together for a family reunion. It was wonderful to all be together in a very roomy, comfortable house. We would love to go back and do it again someday, as we all decided we had discovered a "gold mine". The house manager was very helpful and wonderful to work with, thank you Lynda. Thank you to the owner old this old schoolhouse, what a great place!

Our group of friends have had an annual women's weekend starting in 1987. We have had 12-30 ladies join us over the years. This year we decided to stay at Osage and everything was perfect with everything we may need within walking distance. The house had towels, a Blackstone, crockpots, cooking utensils, appliances, soap, and bathroom toiletries. It met all our needs and beyond!!

Perfect Family Reunion Site

The old school house was the perfect spot for our family reunion. The place was so well thought out with space for everyone and every activity. Everything we could have needed was available at the house. Even though the house is by the highway, it was completely quiet inside and peaceful in the back yard. We loved the location because we could get ice across the street and a couple items we forgot next door at the grocery store. The beach was a huge hit with the younger kids along with the park, both a block or two away. This is by far our favorite place to spend our family reunion and we will definitely be back!

We were amazed at the size of this place! Its so spacious and has really unique features being an old school. It has the character and charm of the past but completely modern amenities. There is so much storage space on the counter in the butlers pantry..it held all of our snacks and supplies. All kitchen supplies were provided, we didn't need to get a thing..pots, pans, dishes, silverware, linens, spices, knives, serving bowls. Anything we needed was there! Comfortable beds, plenty for all to have their own spaces, large livingroom, huge dining room, more than enough space for our large family group. Right on the main road with a small grocery store steps away. Lots to do in the area, we were never bored! It looks way better in person than online..that's why I did 4 stars on that. Wonderful response from the managers, had a few questions, quick response and answered all our issues. Our whole family loved it and will probably book again next summer!
