I rented this property with a group of friends to enjoy a weekend away. This place was perfect for our large group, which included dogs and small children. There was plenty of space for everyone to sleep and hang out and the view of the lake is INCREDIBLE. We stayed in November so we weren’t able to partake in any lake activities, but we did have great weather so we were able to hang out back by the water quite a bit. We loved that this place is so private and secluded, we had no worries about the dogs and the kids running around on their own or about bugging any neighbors. While it feels very remote, it’s just a short 5 minute drive to a gas station in town or a 20 minute drive to get to a Walmart for supplies. I was very impressed with how well stocked the kitchen is- there’s even a meat thermometer! Also plenty of dishes, silverware, pots, pans, and cooking utensils. Everyone was pleased with their bedrooms. The downstairs suites are fantastic for families! The owner was easy to contact and was responsive. One of our group thought they left something there and Chris was so kind in his response that he would mail it back if it was found (though we suspect that one of the kids must have squirreled it away in one of our bags on our way out).
All in all, we had a really lovely stay and this place exceeded our expectations. It is perfect for a getaway with family or friends. I will add, when we stayed, the water in the house had an odor. We weren’t sure if it was because it was well water or if it was due to runoff (the nearby farmers were spreading manure on their fields during our stay) so to be on the safe side we didn’t drink the water, we just got a few cases of bottled water. This didn’t bother us at all, but figured that I should mention it for other groups that may be planning a trip so they can add bottled water to their packing list!
We would definitely stay here again, it was a great experience overall. 10/10!
