Beautiful event location

We had our wedding here with about 45 guests, and it was absolutely perfect. Even in the unexpected June rain, the property was gorgeous and our guests were delighted by the wildlife and the fire pit. The house is very spacious and was great for hosting family from out of town. Holly was helpful and accommodating. My only regret is that we didn't book a longer stay - hopefully we'll be back sometime to enjoy the lake without the stress of a wedding.

Beautifully kept home in a beautiful location

We booked this home to hold a more intimate Celebration of Life for our mother. The space was perfect for this. Having the gane room kept the younger ones occupied. Having the bedrooms gave family & friends space if they needed breathe or cry in peace. So glad we found this.

Amazing

This place was perfect for our weekend. The house has plenty of room and feels very homey; not like "just a rental". The lake is beautiful. The property is big - kids could run around & others were down by the lake just enjoying the peace. It was so quite & dark - the stars were amazing.

Wonderful!

The house was extremely clean and had everything we needed. It is an amazing area with plenty to do. We had a large group and everyone had their own space and we were able to do different things when they wanted. The lake was beautiful. We enjoyed the canoe and the slide, I would definitely recommend this location and property!
