Avis Spacious, modern lake-front vacation home/ scrapbooking/quilting retreat

I stayed at this property with a group of girlfriends from all over the Midwest for a girl’s weekend. The host was very accommodating and quick to respond to questions. The home was beautifully decorated and thoughtfully laid out with lots of good sleeping and inside and outside hanging out spaces. The beds and couches were all perfect for sleeping and the provided bedding and towels were perfect. Large deck and open floor plan made meal times with a group seamless. We spent most of the day floating off the dock - not very weedy/mucky at all which was a huge plus! The paddle north was perfect for 6-7 adults and the extra garage fridge made storing food and drinks a breeze. There was also a nice grill, ping pong and fooseball, yard games, multiple smart tvs, and thoughtful touches like s’mores supplies and playing cards. Would highly recommend a stay here!

We had a wonderful time. Plenty of room in the house and accommodations were excellent. Something to do for every age. Enjoyed the spacious yard for games. Especially loved the outdoor patio. We took the kayaks out and had beautiful weather.

We loved our stay at the Gem of Jennie! The house was very well appointed - it was clear that the owners put a lot of thought into what guests would need. We were there to attend a family reunion in Darwin, so we didn't get to use all the great amenities offered, so this place is high on our list to rent again next time we're in the area.

3 generation family vacation. Quiet lake with boat ramp close by. Large yard. Very well equipped kitchen. Close to town for last minute purchases. Had fun boating, fishing and jet skiing.

This was a wonderful stay, we were there for my sons wedding. We wanted a comfortable stay with room for the kids, a hotel would have been miserable with little kids for 3 days. Everyone had the best time there, so many extra's in the house, games and entertainment. Was way beyond my expectations!!

This house was perfect for our group of 11. It was very clean and had so many extras. Everything in the house was in great condition- all seemed very new- furniture, dishes, appliances, towels, games, etc. The owners were very prompt in answering questions before our stay. The huge yard allowed for plenty of space for yard games. The deck spaces were both very nice. We enjoyed our time and would stay again. Thanks!

The home was exactly as described. Communication was amazing and and the questions we had were immediately addressed. There was a welcome basket on the counter with personalized check in/ information on the kitchen counter when we arrived. We took part in everything the property had to offer: games in garage, gas grill, fire pit, kayaks, pontoon rental, floating pad, outdoor games, walks, and tv late at night. The deck area is undersold as it provided shade throughout the day and we spent a lot of time playing cards out there. We were in the area for a family wedding. There was plenty of parking for family to come spend time with us. The extra fridge space in the garage for drinks/food was a plus. You don’t need to bring your own beach towels as there were plenty on site. There was ample seating both inside and out. The only things I would suggest is a cutting board for the kitchen (that’s The only thing it didn’t have-unless I just missed it) a ladder on the dock for ease in getting on and off the floating pad or the lake, and a picture of the basement area on the listing. Otherwise this home literally has everything to offer in a quiet setting , but close enough to town for shopping or eating out. This was my best VRBO experience to date. If we are ever in need of a place in the area, we will definitely stay here. Thank you for an amazing stay!

Great experience
