We had a great experience here with our family of 11. The owners were very responsive, the place was very clean and so well stocked! The view is gorgeous and so nice of them to let us use their pontoon boat. Highly recommend!

This house is amazing. It's very spacious and perfect for our group of 11 friends. The lake is perfect and the pontoon made our stay so much fun. Our group will be staying here again next summer for sure.
