The owner was flexible with the check-in. We communicated in advance to ensure the logistics worked. On move in day, everything was smooth. The kitchen was fine. What was helpful is we had two kids with severe food allergies. We prepped their food in the backup kitchen to prevent cross contamination.

Awesome reunion lakeside compound
Clean, fully equipped with sporting/recreational stuff, loads of bedrooms and bathrooms. The only real negative is that almost all the bathrooms are attached to bedrooms. Pickle ball, basketball, cornhole, volleyball, pool table, kayaks, all great. Perfect for a large group.

Great property for multiple generations.
We had a family group of 22 people ranging in ages from 3-72. The property had a great layout with so many things to do! The toys, basketball and pickle ball in the front yard with the open garage for pool, ping pong, and foosball kept all the competitors in our family happy! And there was a nice shady area with tables and chairs but still in view of the kids.The backyard leads to the lake with a dock. The teenagers had fun going out in the provided kayaks and life vests. Fishing was an everyday activity during our stay with all ages catching and releasing. Plenty of chairs were provided near the lake and on the back patio. We used the fire pit for s’mores and the large grill for bbq. We used all the amenities including the hot tub!Inside there was plenty of room to gather to eat and relax. We cooked using the nice pans and had plenty of room to stock the refrigerator with drinks and snacks. There were plenty of bathrooms and showers to accommodate us. There were many room options so families with young children could be together, teenagers could have privacy, and older generation had quiet in the 2 bedroom guest house.We stayed for 4 nights and were never bored. It was quiet and private but also close to stores. We all agreed to return for our next family getaway!

Great house for large gatherings - a bed for everyone!
Our extended family (ages 2 - 85) gathered here for a wonderful Thanksgiving weekend. The weather was cold, so thank goodness we had such a comfortable and spacious house to stay in. It was perfect for us and incredible that we had 22 people all sleeping in beds! The kitchen had everything we needed for cooking great meals. The open living / dining / sitting area with large gas fireplace worked great for all of us being together, while doing any combination of playing cards and games, doing crafts, eating, watching a movie, chit chatting, etc. We also had a blast playing pool, foos ball, and ping pong in the large garage (with a space heater provided). The whole property is quite beautiful and private. We'd love to come back in the summer when we can take advantage of being on the lake and playing on all the outdoor courts. The host was friendly and great on communication. We loved it here!

Very nice stay
Our group of 11 business colleagues were very happy with the property. There is space for privacy, and also for gatherings and meetings. We really appreciated the rapid communication with the host, and never waited more than a few minutes for a response from him - we will be happy to stay here again in the future. The view of the lake was peaceful, the house was clean and well-outfitted.

Great Location. Roomy, with Bonus Lakefront!!
This is a fantastic property. We had a group of about 20, and were all able to sleep in beds! The large room and large TV screen meant that our meetings and group games were wonderful. Having the large back yard, lakefront, and the kayaks made it perfect.

Nice Property
Main issue was the dozens of geese who grazed on the grounds and left their droppings behind. It made walking down to the lake from the house very unpleasant.
Other wise it was a very pleasant stay😊

Fantastic
Can't speak to what's nearby or anything, but the place itself was fantastic. Easy check-in, great amenities and plenty of space, and a beautiful property. Great kitchens for cooking huge group meals and the lake and everything was fantastic, I loved going out on the lake a little in the kayak, the chairs out by the water were a wonderful touch, we had a great night grilling, too! Just fantastic all around, couldn't have asked for a better place to hang out and catch up with the folks I care about.

Good time, but issues with property.
Overall family had a good time. We were not sure if ownership had changed hands, since we felt some issues should have been resolved before we arrived.
