Wow!! I wish I could take that kitchen home with me. Plenty of space throughout so the stay included my wife and kids, my brothers wife and kids, mom, dad, and aunt. We never felt over crowded, love having the floating mats for the water. We also got to use the fire pit as well which was perfectly situated.

This was the fourth year that our family vacationed in this home in June. Perfect place for children who love to swim, fish, and boat. We also enjoyed a hike over at Morrow Mountain. One day the women of the family went to Troy to shop and eat in downtown Troy. Very enjoyable!

Perfect for our large family

This home is perfect for large groups. The interior layout had an open family/dining/kitchen with a deck facing the lake. There were ample bedrooms with beds for our family of 14. The owners supplied plenty of towels, as well as basic necessities. It was a wonderful week of vacation to end our summer.

Family Visit

Property was exactly as described. We loved the place! Debby is a great host and communicator.Fridge was stocked with soft drinks, water, coffee and filters and the spice rack was stocked with everything you need. We loved the fire pit and the beautiful view of the lake! It was very peaceful! During the day we saw bald eagles and osprey looking for fish. In the evening we enjoyed the whipper wills singing in the distance. Highly recommend this property!

Lake Christmas vacation

house was the right size and had beautiflul kitchen and open area for family. Was disappointed 1-that the great record collection and stereo system was of no use because the speakers did not work and 2-that the king bed upstairs was actually just 2 twin beds pushed together, which did not sleep comfortably. Otherwise was a great vacation.

Everything You Need!

This house has it all...plenty of room, comfortable beds, fabulous kitchen, great view of water. Our grandchildren were completely entertained on site. They swam (the floating mat is a big hit), fished, kayaked, rode bikes on safe neighborhood roads, and even explored the woods a bit. All of us voted unanimously to return next year!
