Great for large groups which include kids.
My family of 18 booked this home for a wedding nearby. The house comfortably fit all of our family. We were able to host a rehearsal lunch on the deck with plenty of room for parking and space for people to hang out. It was nice to have a large kitchen and grill. We enjoyed the tennis quart, playground, and hot tub. It was too early in the season to enjoy the lake and the pool. The view of the lake was just amazing. Even though there were limited bathrooms, but we made it work. The kitchen was not well stocked for how large the house was. We wished we would have had more towels for our large group. Any questions or concerns I had before I booked, the host was willing to resolve. The whole property could use a freshening up and maintenance. Overall, it met all our needs and was a good stay.

Family Reunion 2023/24
The property was just as described and pictured. There were 28 of us in all for a family reunion. The property manager was very kind and responsive to the minor issues we had. In my opinion, the kitchen wasn’t “fully stocked” enough for 28 people with things like serving dishes, sharp/steak knives, plates etc. and was missing minor things like a peeler, and cork screw which we just purchased and left there, so they have them now :) The bathroom in the downstairs room with the bunk beds is not functional and we assume that is what caused the sulfur smell in that room. The kids slept on the couches, of which there were plenty. The upstairs room and loft in the large house were wonderful. Eleven of us sat together on the oversized couch that last night to watch a movie, and it was cozy and lovely. Since we were there in winter, we didn’t spend much time on the porch, but the view was still beautiful from inside and there are very large windows all along the wall and porch to see and enjoy the lake. The sunsets and sunrises were amazing to watch even from inside. I agree with other reviewers that the property itself could really use some TLC and updating. It was nothing that affected our stay though. The cottage is colorful and cute! I think it is set up so kids might be in the bunk bed room, but logistically for us, an adult was in that room, so be aware that to get to the one bathroom from the King bedroom, you have to go through the bunk bed room.

Wonderful place for family gathering
We have stayed at many different vacation rentals as Our family gets together every year. This was a great location with lots to do on the property. From pickle ball and tennis, to swimming, to going out on the lake (bring your own equipment/boat - we planned ahead). This easily accommodated our 15 people. Do plan ahead for flatware. There was not enough for a large contingent. We brought plastic ware so not an issue. The owner was very responsive. We will be back!

Fun family gathering
After initial distress, we really enjoyed our time together in the pool, on the tennis/Pickleball court, around the table and on the porch! The bunk room bathroom was not functional which could have been a problem but some of our family was unable to come so we moved mattress upstairs to allow easier access to bathrooms. Ronnie was very responsive when we asked questions or needed help. We rented a pontoon boat to take into the lake which was so fun. Kitchen was equipped to handle all of our cooking. The two separate houses worked well as some people are early risers and others not. House could use some TLC - screen repair and more thorough cleaning, but we had a wonderful time being together here.
