The Elysian area is beautiful. This was a large house on a lake and gave us the chance to have good quality time together, make breakfasts together, etc. House is larger than it appears from the outside. The new Wi-Fi there was superfast, so good connectivity. We had a good time with family!

Family vacation
We had a great time at the lake house. We had plenty of room-bedrooms & bathrooms. The lake was nice for fishing but a bit weedy for swimming close to the shore line. The yard could use a bit of maintenance-but we were not particular and it had rained the majority of the summer. Overall I would highly recommend.

Great location
The house had plenty of room for me and my 8 friends (and 5 bathrooms helps a lot). The lot is semi-secluded with a big yard on the lake. This was the second time we have stayed there and will definitely be going back.

Lake Francis house
This was a quiet clean relaxing place. Just what we needed while attending a family member in hospice. We highly recommend this home away for any guests looking for peace and quiet, enjoying nature, and having a lot of room to spread out and live. Stay off your devices and look at the lake!

Family Gathering
It is a very nice house in a great location. On the north end of the lake with one house on the east side and woods on the west. Very private part of the lake. The lake was very nice, one of the best lakes for water quality in the area. Fishing was good for bass, northern and panfish. Already rented it again for next year.

Annual Family Vacation
Enjoyed our change in venue for our annual family vacation with kids and grand-kids. House worked out great with plenty of room and the beach was great for the little ones. Felt dock could be improved and more water activities for the older kids (movable dock or lily-pad) due to the shallowness of the lake. Overall a good time had by all.

The house on Lake Francis was perfect for our large family. The proximity from the house to the lake was ideal. We rented the pontoon and the lake was great for fishing. Would stay again!

Good time in Elysian
Great place for a group hangout. Most of the bedrooms had ensuite bathrooms which was great for the "own space" feel. The flat back yard surrounded by trees made the time spent out there enjoyable even with higher temperatures and few clouds.

Nice little getaway.
We had a nice family getaway. Good location and beautiful scenery. Although it says it's handicap accessible, it was not handicap friendly. Showers had no handlebars and all the toilets were low toilets. If someone is in a wheelchair it won't work. It was not easy for a few of us there. Overall the pictures weren't what we expected when we arrived. Could have used a good cleaning but overall nice space.

The property is great lots of space for our large group. There are plenty of things to keep us busy both in good weather and bad. This was our second year staying here and our family has enjoyed ourselves and will be staying again in the future. Chris is great to work with, he handled our issues quickly even when he was out of town. Thank again and see you next year!!!!
