Family Retreat
It was a delightful stay - games on the patio, corn hole on the desk, swimming, fishing, walks, and sitting around the fire. Also, we greatly appreciated the ample fridge and freezer space.

Enjoyable for all ages.
Comfortable and well-equipped home, with more than enough towels. Under-advertised as has 2 1/2 baths, and use of the boathouse. Loved swimming and jumping off the dock, fishing, and just trolling around the lake with the two boats with trolling motors, and the peddle boat. Very wide mowed path around the lake and other trails. Also had marshmallow forks for the s’mores around the campfire. Enjoyed the rocking bench at the end of the dock, especially in the early morning and for watching sunsets. Hosts were very helpful and responsive. Great memories made.
