Jul 19, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, location, listing accuracy #### Location Location Location! Overall our stay here was amazing. The location of the property on the lake is close to the public boat launch which was extremely convenient, and the amount of private yard and beach was great for our family. The dock on the property was maintained and convenient for our boat. The house is dated as the pictures and description state, but gave a very cool vibe ##### Max W. Stayed 4 nights in Jun 2025 This review comes from a trusted partner site and has not been verified. ### 10/10 Excellent #### Greg S. Jun 24, 2025 #### Great stay at an amazing location This is a great option for a unique rental on Long Lake. The house is large enough to accommodate 2 families with plenty to do both inside and outside. The house itself has a few minor quirks but it's easily outweighed by the location (private peninsula on a beautiful lake) and unique features: the house has lots of fun rooms, panoramic views and is stocked with books, games and movies. ##### Greg S. This review comes from a trusted partner site and has not been verified. ### 10/10 Excellent #### Beth L. Sep 18, 2024 #### Perfect family weekend The property couldn't be more perfect. Being on the point like it is. The grandkids loved having the water on both sides. We had plenty of room for the fourteen of us. The kids and grandkids enjoyed the pool table and ping pong table, as well as sitting by the campfire. It's close to many different attractions. Definitely a place we would go to again. ##### Beth L. Stayed 3 nights in Sep 2024 This review comes from a trusted partner site and has not been verified. ### 8/10 Good #### Chalard B. Aug 21, 2024 #### Great beach, home is good for multiple families Location is incredible especially for our family with 6 kids to enjoy a private sandy beach. Guests need to be ok with old furniture and an outdated home. The AC is not central so it does get warm in the common areas. ##### Chalard B. ### 10/10 Excellent #### Greg S.
