6 adults + 6 children + boat = great time!
This was a perfect long weekend getaway for 3 families of 4. John and Elizabeth were extremely responsive from the time we first inquired, to checking in, to when we left. They answered all our questions as quickly and easily. Check in / check out was a breeze.
Regarding the property, the house itself was comfortable for the 12 of us, but we were really only there at night for dinner and morning when we woke up. We spent the entirety of the days at the lake across the street. We enjoyed grilling and eating outside at the house on the patio. Kids spent the mornings and evenings playing in the game room in the basement, while we hung out in the kitchen.
At the lake there's a nice grassy area by the water that's about 50%-70% shaded during the day depending on the sun's position, so you can easily cool off in the shade if you'd like, or you can sit in the sun on the grass or on the dock. Also there's a cabana with seating, fans, electricity
if you have infants or napping kids.
The kids and 1 adult:) spent almost all of their time in the water or fishing. The water was gorgeous, (70+ degrees for end of May). Bottom had some rocks but was mostly sandy. For reference, water visibility was much better than Greenwood Lake (NY/NJ) and Sacandaga (NY), but not quite as good as Lake George, but super clean. The dock was great for hanging out, fishing, and held my 21' i/o perfectly.
We would definitely book again! Thank you, EJ!
