Beautiful place (with some flaws)

We picked this place for a family reunion and it's in many ways beautiful. The fireplace and "tree" in the house are amazing, the lake is clear and quiet, star-gazing is great at night, and it's really a nice place to relax. We had a great time swimming, making music, and exploring the area. And yet, and yet — to make this a truly great Vrbo, it needs a little bit more ongoing attention. Make sure all the light bulbs are still working, the kayaks/boats can be used, the oven works (it didn't really for us), basic kitchen utensils are available etc. — just all the little things that come with managing a vacation home of this size. Plus, keep the description accurate — 10 bedrooms is a bit misleading, it's probably more like 6 with other places people could sleep in (though the bare-bones boathouse is a bit of a stretch). Anyway, this is a beautiful place and we had a great time, but it could use a little more "active" management to make it perfect.

Great house, nice location

Great, large house in a very secluded, quiet neighborhood. Many things to do within a 20-30 minute drive.

Terrific Retreat for Family Vacation!

We had a terrific week away... Cottage was spectacular with lots of room for the whole family. We enjoyed time on the lake, canoeing and kayaking. Great for large families and corporate retreats.

A peaceful retreat

This lodge is one of a kind with hand worked architecture. The lake offered beautiful sunrises and sunsets and the seclusion was very peaceful and relaxing. Our overall visit was great and we will visit again.
