The house is larger than we thought and there was plenty of room for everyone to do their own thing. It was by far the most well-equipped home that I've ever rented. We fed 14 people very night with no problem. Just a beautiful place and I can't sing its praises enough! We hated to leave this lakefront paradise! ##### Kelley P.
