Charming and spacious 5 bedroom, 3 bath,19 guest home on peaceful keewahtin lake

Our family loved our stay at the house. We had great weather and were able to use the pontoon boat, kayaks, paddle boats, and canoe on the lake. Kids loved fishing off the dock and catching bluegill too!

Great house for families

This place was a gem! The weather was partly rainy and cooler while we were there, but there was SO much to do for our 6, 4, and 1 year olds that no one was bored. Plenty of games inside, beach toys outside, and we finished every night off with a fire by the water. An overall terrific stay!

Short family trip

This was a great spot for a multi-generational get together! We were close to Osceola's Pumpkin Express and Taylor Fall's Interstate Park. At the house we caught fish, built sand castles, threw rocks in the lake, played air hockey and board games. There was a lot of space for us to spread out! Tee was a responsive and helpful host. Thank you Tee!

Family fun at the big house

Sleeping arrangements were perfect for us. Our frustration was the kitchen. The coffee maker didn't work until we put a weight on it - our crew needed coffee. We didn't bring catsup because it was on the provided list. There was less than 1/2 of a bottle-- 15 people and 7 were children who love catsup with everything. I had a full bottle at home.The size kettles didn't fit for 15. It was extremely difficult to figure out where to return the dishes- especially the knives that were in 3 different locations.We found only 1 large garbage bag so we had to buy more since we were there for 5 days. And we needed to recycle.We didn't bring towels and we didn't have enough to make it through the week.There was really not any firewood so we bought some and ended up leaving about 3 bundles.This home is spacious and access to the water from the house was easy. I mentioned the above items to help others be prepared.

Wonderful week!

Though we had some problems with the Wi-Fi and boat Tee and Mo were great to work with. They resolved our problems promptly without hesitation. The house was clean and comfortable everything we needed for our family of 10 was provided for us. The lake is crystal clear and the lily pads and waterfowl made our time on there relaxing. We visited Castlewood golf course the staff there were wonderful, we rented a set of clubs, and the course was well cared for. Dinner at The Old Log Cabin was delicious and the waitress was very attentive. Overall I would highly recommend staying here!!

Beautiful, spacious lake home

This home was perfect for our girls weekend. There were 10 of us in total and we all comfortably had a place to stay. The power unfortunately went out due to a storm when we arrived, but the owners were on top of it. They quickly brought us flashlights and candles. It was back on shortly after. The communication was wonderful. I felt like the pictures on the site didn’t do this place justice, as we were pleasantly surprised with how beautiful and clear the beach was. The large kitchen with the island and a wet bar was perfect for our group. There was plenty of comfortable seating around the home and we never once felt crowded. Overall, this was a fantastic experience and we’d love to come back!

Whole family vacation

We had a great stay! The first 2 days were beautiful! The next 2 days it rained and rained and rained and rained! The 2nd rainy day we decided we had to fet out of the house and went fishing in the rain. Kids loved it. We caught more fish this week than in my entire week. 2 kids learned to bait and take fish off all on their own!

Beautiful and private spot on the lake!

What a find! We pulled up to the property and immediately were so excited about our choice for this vacation with family! So much room inside and out, beautiful spot on the lake. We especially enjoyed the sandy private beach for the kiddos, kayaks and paddleboats! Fishing off the pier was great, and with a big yard to play outdoor games and relax. Very highly recommend for a fun getaway! Thank you Tee for hosting us!

Quiet Lake House

Great house for a large crowd, lots of spaces! The game room is great, although we did not use it as the weather was fabulous and we enjoyed the outdoors. The lake is small but quiet. We enjoyed the pontoon and did some swimming in the lake. We also used the canoe and kayaks. Close to Walmart/Target should you need anything. The kitchen is stocked pretty good, but I always bring what I need for preparing meals. Communication with Tee is awesome, she responds right away! Check it out!

Review

The overall cleanliness of the property was not the best. It was lightly cleaned but was in need of a deeper clean everywhere. There were spider webs all over. The fridge had sticky spills/stains on the shelves. Most of the outdoor chairs had not been cleaned in a long time and needed to be wiped down. If you sat on them your clothes were dirty. The outdoor grill was pretty much unusable as none of the burners functioned properly and the grill was rusted out and in need of a pressure wash to use it.

The perfect retreat for a family

This was the perfect place for my family's vacation. The house was spacious with several options to gather or have alone time. We enjoyed the indoor games and the many outdoor games and activities. The house sits on a private lake. The water was clean for swimming and kayaking and we enjoyed the time on the boat. Our trip was peaceful and relaxing. The owners were available and easy to work with. We will stay here again if we are ever in the area.

You'll LOVE It!

This property is perfect for large gatherings. We had 15 people ranging from ages 4 to 70 and everyone had a great time. There is a large game room, ample sleeping and sitting areas. My family members enjoyed the sandy beach and swim area, the kayaks, canoe and paddle boats. Fishing was fun, caught and released. Grandson caught a 5 pound (yes, we weighed it) largemouth bass from the end of the dock. We especially enjoyed the campfire pit. There were plenty of outdoor lawn chairs so that we could all gather around the fire for s'mores. I highly recommend this home. One note - get your leg exercises in prior to your stay. My legs were screaming "mercy" after 5 days of running up and down stairs several times per day. (I live in AZ where stairs are not common. Haha.)
