The rooms are updated, the pool and hot tub were the perfect temperature and small lake was exactly the right size for fishing and paddle boarding. We will be back as soon as we can.

The guys fished every day and even caught fish every day. The rec building entertained the kids when we had to drag them out of the pool. The adults loved the golf simulator. Lots and lots of extras in the kitchen and pantry like a waffle maker, spices, snacks, bandages, cold drinks, and much more. Very quiet yet close to stores if you need them.

Wonderful stay for entire family! Everything about the owners, rental property and process was top notch. We have stayed at many properties both in the United States and abroad and this experience and property ranks with the very best. Don't be fooled by location. Property has everything you will ever need during your stay and is set in a peaceful country setting. If you do need anything, Springfield is twenty minutes away. During our second day of our five day stay, the entire family were already buzzing in my ear about making it a annual tradition. We had ages 2,4,5,9,11,11, thirties, sixties, and 80's and plenty to do for everyone. We will be back! ##### Kevin K. Stayed 4 nights in Jun 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Christine K.

We really enjoyed the lake, home, and the pool. The beds were extremely comfortable. The home had everything needed for our get away. Lots of extras. Home is well thought out for all ages. Host is avaliable if needed and owners were very accommodating. The lake is well maintained and the trails around it are beautiful. One may want water shoes for the lake area. Just any fyi for travelers...our phones didn’t work at the location. It ended up being postive. We spent more time playing and unplugged. There is internet so phone use is still possible.

Might not of been typical Easter but the memories will last a life time. We truly were happy from the moment we pulled up. The property is absolutely gorgeous. From the beautiful home, to the amazing outside kitchen and pool, lake, rec center and so much more. We had so much to do. (The kids weren't on any electronics the whole time) It was so relaxing and peaceful. We all bonded in so many more ways. We plan on making this our new Easter tradition.

Long weekend with Friends Can't say enough fantastic things about our stay. We were a group of families with 7 adults and 8 kids ranging from 13-17. The hosts are wonderful and aim to make your stay as comfortable as possible. They have a fully stocked house with everything you could need. The numerous beach towels were amazing since we spent the majority of our stay on the super spacious pool deck and in the huge pool!. Another wonderful feature of the house is the numerous places to sit around the pool deck. We ate all our meals outside: at the bar counter or at the tables around the pool. It was wonderful to have so many seating options. Another huge perk of this house is the large refrigerator in the kitchen, but there is also a full size refrigerator in the basement for extra storage. In addition to that, there is a beverage refrigerator in the garage. If you rent "the REC" there is also an additional refrigerator in there as well. AMAZING! Obviously we didn't use them all, but it was nice to know that refrigerated space was available. Many times on our group trips we have to run and get ice for the coolers. So great not to have to worry about that. There is so much to do and so much space to do what ever you want! The space is just so great you will not be disappointed, the only disappointment you will have is that it is rented all the time and hard to return! Really cannot say enough positives about our stay. A vacation to remember! We will return! Thanks Jack and Lori!! ##### Mandy N. Stayed 3 nights in Jul 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Michael H.

Dec 6, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Thanksgiving vacation This house and property is amazing, and the pictures do not do it justice. It’s beautiful on its own, however we also had the bonus of having it decorated for Christmas. Lori not only had a Christmas tree, but there were multiple other decorations hidden in corners of each room, several animated animals like Mickey Mouse that my grandkids loved, and there was even an Elf on a Shelf. The owners not only had everything we needed in a well stocked kitchen, coffee, spices, plenty of towels and soft throw blankets everywhere, and many other bonus items, but there were also so many toys that no children would ever be bored! For reference my granddaughters are 8 & 5. We also had access to the rec room where the adults had just as much fun playing as the kids, and a bonus game room with a poker table that we utilized for cards in the evening hours. The goats and chickens are friendly, we had fresh eggs in the morning, and the grounds are easily accessible for walks should you choose. It was too cold for us to fish or use the outside much, but all of that was just as nice as the inside. Jack and Lori were more than easy to work with, friendly and prompt in answering questions. We even had a welcome gift waiting for us in the kitchen. I would HIGHLY recommend this property. ##### Lisa P. Stayed 4 nights in Nov 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Don V.

Our three adult children with their eight kids ranged in age from 17 to 4 months and they all found many activities to keep themselves entertained whether it was rainy or sunny.

Toys, games, gaming systems, movies, pool toys, boats, fishing poles/equipment etc etc all over the top! The goats/chickens were fun to see and feed. The kitchen was well supplied. The rec center was an added bonus with virtual golf, pickle ball and lots of arcade games. And as promised by Jack, we did catch fish! And they weren’t small!

Everything from baby needs to fishing gear was there. So much to do too! Even though it rained on us a few times there was plenty to keep everyone busy from the game room, the many toys for toddlers, the movie theater, kayaking, paddle boat, paddle board, fishing, and the rec building with arcade games, basketball, golf and more. The kids helped collect eggs every morning that we got to use, and pet the goats. And of course the swimming pool was a hit between the rains. There are plenty of beach towels and pool toys, and lots of life jackets for the lake. There is plenty of refrigerator and freezer space for your food and drinks. There was also baby equipment such as bassinet, pack n plays, activity bouncy seats, monitor and potty chairs if you need them. The outdoor seating area is great with a huge grill and counter area for fixing and eating meals poolside. This place is Amazing and we would love to go back! ##### Jill M.

It has absolutely everything you need for your stay. Pool, pond, fishing equipment (tackle bonanza), fully stocked kitchen, 2 play rooms filled with toys of all kinds, pool equipment, etc. if they don’t have it, you don’t need it. It was very clean. Pictures and description were accurate. ##### Dale T. Stayed 5 nights in Jun 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Jo V.

The house is perfect as is the lake and pool area. The owners thought of every little detail to make our stay perfect. The beds are so comfortable, the pool is inviting, and the house is impeccably maintained and decorated by truly great people. We caught 100 fish over 3 days. My only fear is that you spoiled us so much you will be the standard by which all future VRBO stays will be judged and I know it is a bar they won't be able to reach. Thank you again for your hospitality! I wish I could give you 10000 stars instead of 5! ##### Angela K. Stayed 3 nights in Jun 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Jeff H.

Everything we needed seemed to be available. The weather was perfect, so we spent allot of time in the pool and hot tub. We had plenty of room. We're going to book it again next year. ##### Michael K. Stayed 4 nights in May 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Jon H.

We had a wonderful experience and the communication and support is outstanding. We have stayed at many properties and this is by far the most well stocked vacation property we have seen, by far. ##### Jon H. Stayed 5 nights in Apr 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Curt C.

We celebrated Thanksgiving, Hanukkah, and Christmas while we were there. The house has absolutely everything any family would need. If for some reason it doesn’t have it, the owners are easily reachable and will bring it immediately. Trying to figure out when we can go back already. Great house. Great property. Great owners. ##### Curt C.
