Our Stay at The Big House
We had a wonderful week-long stay at this property. It was clean, had well-stocked kitchen, had lots of seating areas, and it was large enough to give 10 family members their own space when wanted. Outside, there is a big fire pit with a huge supply of firewood, and there is a canoe, paddle boat, and kayak for venturing out on the lake. Finally, the owners of the property are quick to respond if you have any questions or problems. We enjoyed every moment we spent at The Big House.

Great vacation
The area was beautiful. Peaceful . Enjoyed the kayaks and pedal boat. Plenty of space in the house for everyone. Plenty of extra supplies. The only thing was the beds. They were very uncomfortable. Worn! Great place to vacation with large family!

Quiet and Amazing Location
We love coming here and sprawling out. Everyone has their own space which is important with Teenagers. Plenty to do with 4th lake, hiking, inlet and old forge.

Size of house was great...
However, there is definitely a mold issue in the basement. While there the upstairs toilets and showers leaked down through the main floor and the Main floor bathroom leaked down into the basement bedroom. The size of the camp was great but it needs alot of updates and improvements first and foremost of the plumbing.

The "Big House"....
We (4 couples) had a great time staying here for the weekend. Late October on 4th Lake is a bit to chilly to enjoy the water. The fire pit managed to keep us warm on night and the inside fire place the next. This house is a perfect example of "Grandma's House". Big.cozy, lots of rooms with room for everyone to stay over. It is NOT a 5 star Hotel, nor did we want it to be. Bring you own linens and towels. Feel free to use the kitchen, wash up when your done. Have fun, go home. We hope to stay here again.
