The house is exactly like it is pictured and the property allowed space for us to enjoy the outdoors both on the deck, large yard & water. We had been planning this stay for over a year and had to reschedule last year due to a medical issue, Emi was great in working with our family to do this. She was also always responsive to any questions. Because we had been looking forward to this for so long, we all read the reviews and knew what to expect. We stayed for my parents anniversary, 16 people ranging in ages from 18 months to 67.
Outside: Dock was a great feature - we brought our boat and kayaks too. While they did take the boat out fishing, it was mainly used for tubing and trips to the cliff. The most successful fishing the boys had was from the dock. We spent a lot of time in the water, there was a long length of shallow water that the 3 & 6 year old could touch. The beach wasn't great - there are a lot of roots, but we enjoyed the fact that it was shaded. We brought bag chairs with us and set those up in the shade so we could take shade breaks when not in the water. The yard was huge and it is a decent walk to the beach, but we expected this and brought side by sides to help haul stuff down to the beach. The side by sides/rangers were really useful in making quick trips to town and just cruising around the lake, there were even trails you could ride - beware some are private trails :) They had a volleyball net up and we brought corn hole and other yard games. The deck was awesome with lots of seating and most of the day there was significant shade. We grilled a couple nights and enjoyed lots of evenings there. (There were some reviews that mentioned the neighbors as the houses are fairly close, but we had no issues)
Inside: The house is beautiful. The kitchen had more than we expected - crockpots, griddles, pots/pans, etc. We didn't use most of it but we were pleasantly surprised. There is a full and a half bath downstairs and then a 2nd half bath in the garage. Upstairs the master room is the access to the upper deck and the other side of the hall has the jack & jill bedrooms which is the access to the game/bunk room. The bunk room also had access from the garage, but since all of the kids slept in here they accessed the room through the one bedroom. It wasn’t ideal, but we were all family and agreed there would be little privacy during the weekend! Ice maker was AWESOME perk! We had a great time and would stay again!
