Great accommodations and all the extras were great. Hot tub was kept very clean and we enjoyed it very much. Property was very large and well kept, plenty of room for yard games and just relaxing in the sun. Fire pit was also great in the evenings under the stars! This location did not disappoint and the extra bedroom in the game house was a great bonus! Would definitely recommend to others. Thanks so much for the welcome gifts and hospitality. ##### Paul V.

Our stay was the best! Plenty of comfy beds, a large well-equipped kitchen, swans on the lake, a cozy fire, games and puzzles, a warm hot tub, s’mores by the outside fire—all contributed to our perfect visit! Our host could not have been more responsive to any questions! We would definitely stay again at this fantastic house! ##### Pamela B.

Something for everyone; hot tub, jetted bathroom tub, outdoor and indoor fireplaces for example. The open concept allowed us to have space but stay connected while we played games, baked cookies and watched football. The home and grounds were well maintained. Hope to visit area again😊 ##### Barbara S.
