Wow!!!
This house is a must see!! We were in town to celebrate my graduation from U of I. The house was spacious enough to accommodate our group of 10. The house is stunning , the pictures do not show just how glorious this house is. This was easily the most well stocked house we’ve ever rented. You can tell the owners put a lot of thought into every detail. Diane was wonderful to work with and extremely accommodating. We just left today and I’m already looking at dates to come back again so we can stay longer!

Girl/Kid Trip
I can not begin to say how the pictures of this property do it no justice. Absolutely beautiful home. Still smelled new! The amenities were over and above any other house I have ever rented. We very much enjoyed our stay, even in "off season". We can not wait to come back in the summer, so we can utilize the lake. I would give this property a 10+!!

Bunkhouse @ Lake Sara is Wonderful
Don't tell anyone but this location exceeded my expectations. There are thoughtful things everywhere. The space to relax, the views, the quiet were wonderful. This property owner/manager knows what it takes to entertain guests. There wasn't a thing we needed. Being there in person, is the only way to experience this property, my family was so happy! Thank you for sharing this property.

Tournament time
Group of 5 visiting the lake for a bass tournament. House was clean and comfortable, well stocked with most things you would need for a weekend. Plenty of parking for trucks and trailers. Had a dock but with water levels where they were it wasn’t usable, Normal levels not would be fine. I’d stay again for sure.

Amazing house
Do not miss this house!!! We had extended family visit for the weekend and needed space for them. This house is so much more than advertised. It is beautifully and tastefully decorated, has tons of comon spaces to relax and gather, both upstairs and down, a huge wrap around deck to watch the sunset--and sunrise.The kitchen is fully stocked with everything you could want as was the bathroom with shampoo, toothpaste, etc.It is easy to get too and was impeccably clean. Diana is an absolute doll and very responsive and accommodating. My daughter and son in law, as well as my nephew and niece, stayed and loved it. We had a total group of 9 and had two great meals at the house as it had more room than our house. I cannot say enough good things about the house--you will not be dissapointed!
