Family Vacation

Our family gathered at this house for a long weekend and we had the best time. Great access to the water and marinas, the home was comfortable and large enough for the group, and it was easy to access from the airport. This property is located next to a commercial building, but we got over that with the amazing sunsets and nice lawn for playing outdoors. Thank you for the great stay!

Great getaway

Christmas family getaway was everything we expected. The house is beautiful. Perfect set up so our littel one could go to bed and we could play games in the game room. Looking forward to returning during the summer and being able to use all the outside amenities. Property manager was a delight and extremely helpful with everything.

Awesome location

Love the location of this home, and the direct access to the water. The pirate ship in the yard was a huge hit with our kids. The rooms were all well-appointed and comfortable as well. My only criticism is the basement ceilings are so low that it was hard for some members to stand down there. Otherwise, we had a great time. Fabi was a very accommodating contact as well. Thank you!

Lake House fun

Family of 10, six adults and 4 kids enjoyed the amenities of the home. Great deck for grilling and watching the lake. Dining table set up for ten. Large kitchen. Sandbox and swings for the youngsters. Fire pit for the evenings. Great pier for tying up your boat. And there are 4 bathrooms. There are basement activities as well....foosball, table hockey, pool table and home theatre.

Met all our criteria for a vacation rental

Owners were gracious in letting us arrive a couple of hours early so we were able to get in some boating on a lovely Friday afternoon. Boating was facilitated by their private boat ramp and ability to tie up to their pier. Large kitchen and dining area meant everyone could sit at the dining table and multiple people could be in the kitchen at the same time. Cool morning meant exploring the home's many game rooms....such fun and a man land 4th bathroom. Little ones enjoyed the sandbox and swing set. Owner was very responsive to questions. A few items needed attention but that is often the case with vacation homes and nothing impeding us having a good time. We plan to use this home again.

Amazing House on the chain!

Our stay here was incredible! We would highly recommend. 4 families with 6 boys and it was perfect. We had a question about the air and the hosts called immediately and then followed up to ensure everything was great. There is so much to love. The house has everything you need inside and out to have a great vacation on the lake. The kayaks supplied were great and we also took advantage of Chain of Lakes boat tour. The boys loved the basement: pool, air hockey, foosball, chilling on the great couches and chairs with the large screen tv. 4 bathrooms and 3 refrigerators! The weather was great and we used the boat launch as well. Plenty of parking in the drive way. The kitchen has all you need and we had multiple family meals at the large table and extra table. Fire pit was perfect for s’mores. A manual laid out all the information but the hosts are very accessible and kind which makes a huge difference! There is a ton to do on the chain but we really just enjoyed the home and each other.

Great Stay!!

My family stayed in this house while attending our family reunion and absolutely loved it! Their remarks - kitchen well-stocked, beds very comfortable, house well-decorated; only recommendations (because we are a tall family!) is to put a low clearance sign on the entry to the media room!! Overall - it was great and we would love to rent it again when we have family in the area!

We had a very nice stay, 6 adults and 5 kids. Enough room for everyone to sleep comfortably and move about the home. Kitchen was nice and had almost everything you needed. There were plenty of towels and washcloths for the bathroom, along with shampoo and body wash in all showers. Owners were responsive when we reached out. Lake was nice with a private boat launch and dock. Lots of local restaurants and stores. We rented a pontoon for a few hours from Jet Funn down the street. Definitely would recommend this stay!

Great location and a lot of fun things to do!

Great location and amenities. The kids loved the access to the water for fishing and the game room and movie theatre in the basement. The hosts were in contact prior to our arrival and helped us remotely when we had trouble with the thermostat. The basement has a low ceiling for tall people, so watch your head. The grill in the back yard could use a good cleaning and maybe some light repair to rusted parts, but overall, a great find! We recommend! Thank you!

We loved your home from top to bottom, inside and out. Great layout for big group of girls, family and friends. Large eating, card and game playing area for all of us to be together, very cool gaming floor for shooting pool, darts, karaoke, lg TV, and more! Fishing, swimming, kayaking right off the dock. Large deck right off main floor for all of us to watch the most fantastic view of the sunsets. 5 immaculate bedrooms with lots of room for each of us to have good sleep. And we all loved the huge kitchen ...perfect for an all women getaway! It rained all 3 nites so we couldn't have a fire but we will next time! Every amenity we needed, you had for us! Thanks! We hope to come back again!

Not as depicted

The pics of property on line are deceiving and outdated. The outdoors is quite run down and not kept up. Rotting wood deck, and landscaping a mess. Inside met our needs well but overall not clean. Beds are fine. This property is very overpriced.
