Our family stayed at this house for a week. We vacation up north every year and are always looking for a place that can accommodate us along with our five children and their kids.
This house was one of the best in terms of just having enough large bedrooms. Because of the unique layout of this house, which is built on a hill, all the rooms were very separate from one anothe and allowed people to sleep early and late as they liked. The family with the oldest children particularly appreciated the space over the garage.
The lake itself is gorgeous; sandy, bottom, clear and shallow, which was very comfortable with small children and allowed for kayaking and just floating around having a dock for our small sailboat was also a big plus. They loved the private sandy beach area, some thing that is very hard to find in a vacation rental.
The owners were extremely responsive to any needs or difficulties with the house. That being said, this house did have more issues with it than any other house we’ve stayed at. Although it is freshly renovated and very clean, it does seem like the fixtures are on the older/cheaper side, and we did have issues throughout the stay.
I also felt that the listing downplayed the length of the staircase, which was daunting for those who lived in the upper rooms, especially with small children. And the road in front of the house did get busy at times and cars go very fast on it, so that was a concern with small children.
Overall, 4 stars
