"The hotel was very clean. My room was clean and comfortable. I will be staying there next year "

"Our August family summer vacation on Strand Island was perfect. Large cabin with many rooms for the large group we had. Plenty of space inside, the wrap around porch was absolutely perfect for games and the kids loved the swinging beds. We made use of the large outside field area and had many competitive games of wiffle ball. The swimming area was great, and the kayaks were used daily. The views and sunsets were amazing. We definitely recommend Strand Island for a large group get away."

"I came to the area for my 55 HS reunion. This resort of very quiet and peacefull and a nice place to stay. The only downside is that parking is a long way from the cabin, AND no towels are provided AND there is no A/C. And, this is an older resort and I don't think a lot of money has been put into it to repair and maintain it. One example would be, the screen door has holes in the screen, rather than put a new screen in, they taped up the holes. There are other repairs like this that have been made that should have been done better. Obviously the owners dont want to spend money to upgrade things and fix things right. Even so, this is a very nice place to stay and is worth the money. The staff is very friendly and caring. I recommend staying there. Very nice location and grounds."

"Peaceful lake front home. "

"My family of 4 had a great time here. The lake views and sunsets were amazing, the fishing was great (two largemouth bass over 3 lbs!), we saw bald eagles, loons, mink, Canadian geese, ducks and deer, and the location was perfect: close to town but very private. We never even saw a neighbor. The cabin itself was comfortable and there were so many little extras that made the stay even more enjoyable and showed how much the owners care. A soda stream machine, fire blankets just in case (may seem silly, but it made me feel like the owners have really taken the time to make sure everything is as safe as possible), wire baskets with battery operated lanterns next to each bed in the bunk room, games, a great booklet with all the information you might need about the house, the area, the best local places to eat and more. They even had a book about the local history and another dedicated to tying fishing knots. It was our favorite lake house rental!"

"We had a lovely time at this farmhouse in the country. It easily fit our two families and we loved all the fun games available (corn hole, board games) and watching the cows and chickens. It had everything we needed and more, including spices, coffee, ziploc bags, lots of things you wouldn't expect even shampoo conditioner and body wash. It was clean, and very spacious and decorated very cute. Our host was awesome and we were able to purchase fresh eggs and she came to help us when we had trouble with the code (a little tricky, suggestion would be to include better instructions on what the submit/enter button looked like). Only other suggestion would be to add handsoap in the kitchen, otherwise perfect. "

"What an experience!!! Such a lovely place with great views of the lake! Highly recommend this hidden gem! "

"Great location for us. Trails were close by and easy to get to. Gas station was also very close and convenient. Hot tub was great to soak in after the days ride. Cabin layout worked very well for our group."
