The house was unique and fun and it exceeded our expectations. The property was beautiful and the rental provided a great setting for our family reunion. Alyson was in close communication and responsive to our questions. The cousins especially enjoyed the indoor racquetball court. Thanks for a wonderful weekend.

Our family of 15 plus 1 infant recently stayed at this property to attend a wedding nearby. This place is incredible, the pics don't do it justice. Clean, comfortable beds, and big enough so people could spread out or gather. There is also a stunning view of the water from almost every room! We loved the woodwork and the bar area, and the racquetball court was a huge hit as well. The kitchen had everything we needed and the grounds were expansive with lots of great walking trails. Alyson was awesome to deal with and quickly responded to all my inquiries. We had so much fun at this fabulous home, would love to return someday! Thank you Alyson for sharing your beautiful home!

We had planned a family reunion because my daughter was getting married and we wanted to have the family and the bridal party at one location. We booked 2 of the three locations on this property, The Gem (main house) and the Manor house for the bridal party. The location was perfect! The Gem house was incredibly unique, clean with a large out door deck right along the water. We had upwards of 25 people that we entertained throughout the weekend with the family and bridal party. We had plenty of space and the kids loved the outdoors. It was secluded but not out of the way. We had a 6 month old baby all the way up to my 76 year old sister and ever age in between. The host was incredibly accommodating!! We had the rehearsal dinner at The Boat House which was convenient and a blast! Looking back on it, I can’t imagine a more perfect week with family and friends and the house was the perfect location to bring it all together. Thank you so much for the memories!!

Stay here!!!!! I was a little confused on how the listing worked, but I finally figured it out! They have a huge wooded property right on the lake that has a main estate (dark wood and very retro) that is connected to a pavilion (listed separately) that is perfect for entertaining a large group. Lastly there is a third house up the hill (more updated home in pictures). We only rented the estate and the pavilion. This house is AMAZING!!!! It is perfect for kids! The hide and seek was epic! Be prepared for a very 1970’s feel. It has a lot of wild decor choices that I personally found to be fantastic! I think if the house was totally renovated, it would lose a lot of its charm. The estate has 8 bedrooms (1 has a half bath and 1 has no bath and one shares a bath). All of the rooms were comfy and had plenty of space. The main bedroom has a huge bathroom and then a small walk in shower, a fun brown tub (did not use) and a sauna (also didn’t use). The kitchen was great, definitely could use a new oven, stovetop and microwave, but all worked perfectly well. They also have a large fridge and an additional fridge just off the kitchen in the laundry room. There were basic cooking items (pots, pans, plates, bowls, spatulas, silverware). The racquetball court and the pool table were big hits! If you take the walk down the long hallway to the separate pool pavilion, you will find a huge open space with tons of windows. This is definitely the “party/ballroom” of the estate. It is rented separately and you would not want to rent just the estate or just the pool pavilion , you need both for the experience. This is where the pool is located. It is winter, so the pool was covered, but I can only imagine how pretty it would be in the summer. The views are really amazing. There are no real bedrooms in the pavilion. There is a “room” off to one side and then a huge loft that is portioned off to make (2) rooms. If you are looking for privacy from your guests, then you definitely would want to stay over in the estate side. This area was the perfect place for our teenagers to hang out. There is a small kitchen, 2 large, bathrooms and a lounge area with a tv. There really are zero cons to this house! We were unable to use the fireplaces since they run on propane and they were not full. They did send propane but we still couldn’t figure out how to turn them on, but that’s a personal problem :) We will 100% be back!!! This house really is fantastic!!!

This property was just amazing. The Estate house feels like a giant mansion. The indoor sauna and racquetball courts were delightful surprises for us. The grounds themselves are so peaceful, with beautiful walking trails along the water. Our favorite feature was the fire-pit and gazebo down by the water. We sat around it every single night.
