This house is great! We had a large group with kids and pets and everyone enjoyed themselves. There are such sweet, thoughtful little touches throughout the house. Even a little Christmas tree! The kids took over the upstairs bedroom and loved having their own area. And they loved the little playset in the yard too. We did some fishing off the dock and enjoyed time around the firepit, especially since we had some colder temps. The hosts were great responding to questions and even lent us a space heater for a chilly room. The kitchen is well-stocked and the coffee/tea bar was awesome! Thank you so much for our stay!

Stayed with family for the weekend to celebrate our mother's 70th. The house have lots to offer, rooms, water crafts, games, lots of entertainment and space. The host is quick at replying and seems nice. The only thing we did not like are several tripping hazard area by few doors. My 75 yrs old stepdad tripped and fell on his knees from one of the room door. One of the room that's supposed to have 2 queen bed only had 1 bed and the pool table instead. We still had a wonderful time with our stay.

Great location, close to boat ramp and inlet, quiet and tucked away. Also had lots of room for a big group to all be able to get their space.
