Parent's 70th Anniversary Celebration!
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at the house. The Lake and weather we were blessed with allowed us to enjoy the water. Looking at it is nice, but being able to enjoy swimming & boating really added to the weekend enjoyment! The hot tub was very relaxing after a long day of playing and fun! Thank you!

Wonderful Property and Host
This property was great for hosting a large party of 14 adults and 6 children for an annual family trip. The layout of rooms, play areas for kids, and water toys (and kids toys) was excellent and allowed groups to get together while kids slept in another part of the home without being disturbed. The host communicated well prior to our arrival and was very responsive during our visit. We would definitely rent this property from this host again.
