Most needed

We flew in our daughters future in laws from California. It was their first time flying and their first trip out of state. Since it was our first time meeting them we thought it would great to get a place where there was everything to do without having to leave the house. This place was everything we expected and more. Unfortunately, I was sick for a few days but what better place to be a beautiful home with a gorgeous view.

Truly a luxury house

Celebrated my husband's 90th birthday with family and a friend. Everyone enjoyed the movie room with the very comfortable recliners and then they moved to the ping pong table and pool table. I called and the hot tub was remotely turned on and used for a few minutes by grandchildren (30-40 year olds) We watched football on one of the TV's (there are TVs everywhere). Excellent house for December weather and great for fun on lake.

Amazing

Terrific property. Essentially no negatives at all during our stay. Huge house with plenty of space for our large family. Loved the pool. Kids caught a number of bream fishing from the shade of the boathouse. We saw >10 deer near the property. I rented jet skis and a ski boat from a local vendor, which added to the fun. Missy was our contact and did a great job keeping us informed and answering questions.

Awesome home!

The pictures don’t do the house justice. It’s an amazing place and we had a great time. It is also managed extremely well - very responsive and helpful.
