Quick family trip

We had a great stay! We travels to Van because my son was in a state baseball tournament. He thoroughly enjoyed fishing and swimming in his down town. The house was very clean, and the owners were very responsive. Thanks for a great stay!

Really great place to stay. Home is very nice, clean and comfortable. Received prompt answers to the few questions we had. Easy drive to First Monday Trade Days in Canton, and a very nice place to relax and unwind after a long day of shopping. The outdoor area is beautiful, right on the lake. Although we didn’t use the game area, it appears to be well equipped and is definitely spacious. Would definitely stay here again.

Hidden Gem

We were very fortunate to stumble across this home. Our original home was canceled on us 1 month before our spring break vacation. I quickly searched for something new and this place had everything we wanted from fishing to a ton of games. We walked along the dirt road (when it wasn't too windy) and met some cows during our stay. The kitchen had almost everything we needed, as we cooked every meal while there. We caught a few catfish while fishing, played all the games and even rode the bicycles around. My family including 2 teenagers, grandparents and pups had an amazing time. I would definitely recommend this place for a nice get away!

This place was absolutely AMAZING! The views, the house, the covered outdoor entertainment space, the shop with all the games/space, the amount of yard for the kids and dogs to play in, and the lake right there made this place have endless possibilities of fun and relaxation for our family trip. We will absolutely be staying here again for our annual First Monday Trade Days trip, and we will likely try to come back during spring/summer to take advantage of the fishing and lake activities. We have stayed in many different places within 30 minutes of Canton, some of which were on other lakes. This one, hands down, is the place to be.
