Summary: If could give this property 100 stars, I would. It was so perfect for our family of eight. Small things, like having the wifi info in big print multiple places...that was huge! My kids did not have to ask me once for the info. There was a snack basket and water when we arrived. Of course, the kids loved that. The house is so comfortable and has so much space. There are coffee nooks all over. We had family movie night in the basement. So, so comfortable. The dock had fishing, swimming, sunbathing. We had jet skis delivered to us for a few days, thanks to a recommendation of the owner. The location is close enough to everything, but far enough away you feel you are getting away. My husband and I love to cook, and the kitchen had everything we needed, including and outdoor grill where we were able to do a hibachi night. We will absolutely be back. The best lake vacation experience and it would not have happened without this amazing rental.
