Lots of space for our large family and loved 3 fridges and 2 ovens. Amazing views off the back. Would like to come in warmer weather.
The size. We have a large family and we all had plenty of space.
This is an older house but a great space for the family. You can see from the photos that this house is a bit older than some of the others but that shouldn't stop you from having a great time. We had a great week there. The back porch was perfect for fitting 13 of us for all our meals and hanging out. The basement was a perfect hangout for the kids to play games and ping pong, etc. Also the bunk room being down there was great because we could hear the kids throughout the night like we have in other houses. Mattresses were comfortable, plenty of towels and such provided. The kitchen was pretty well equipped. The dock area was very fun and shady throughout the day. We could hang out all day (and did sometimes when we weren't boating). There are a decent number of steps to get down, but I think that shows accurately in the pictures.
This house is even bigger in person than it appears in the photos. It was clean and well maintained. We absolutely loved our vacation and can’t recommend it enough. Thanks for a great week!
All our friends keep talking about is that they wish they were back here. This spacious home was the perfect venue for a group of friends to spread out and have a blast both indoors and out! Highly recommend and would definitely stay here again.
