Family reunion, 25 people ages 4 to 78. Amazing stay! This reunion happens every year and we move from place to place. We checked out today and are ready to book Scott and Ann’s home for next year! This home was really well laid out for a big group. Very clean and comfortable beds for all! Multiple spaces to hang out in smaller groups or all together in the huge activity room, which we even set up a projector in for a movie night (it’s attached the house which was awesome but not evident to me in the photos). Everything was very well stocked… towels, paper products, games, kitchen needs, outdoor games, etc). Tons of ‘extras’ like the pool table, hot tub, and sauna, plus 3 refrigerators and 2 kitchens, which is fabulous for big groups. The lake was beautiful and we had a great time with the canoes and fishing and swimming off the dock. The lake is a beautiful walk (just a few minutes) from the house but this worked perfectly. For travel with little ones, lake time was specific and not all day, and no one had to be on extra high alert while the kids were playing outside at the house. Also, the house is very secluded, which we love, but town isn’t far for a run to the store if needed. Some reviews mention the girls camp sharing the water. They were not on the water when we were, but there was plenty of lake to share had they been. Highly recommend this home!

Scott & Ann were both super communicative. All pictures matched the property, and our stay was perfect. With the snow over the weekend, Scott was nice enough to plow the driveway for us on the Sunday morning. Everything was great! We used the firepit, the sleds, the pool table. Only downside is no cell coverage in the area, but WiFi was enough for us! They had Roku, lots of games, and plenty of space to accommodate my group of 22 people. We never felt like we were on top of eachother, which was a huge plus!

Scott and Anne were incredible hosts, and their home was perfect for our group. We were a large group, and had a ton of space. The kitchen was fully stocked for us to cook giant meals. The hot tub was amazing. Scott and Anne were responsive, and even came early in the morning to plow us out of the driveway when there was a lot of snow. We will definitely be back!!!!

21 of us (6 families) had a blast at this house for a long weekend! We went sledding, ice skating, and ice fishing! The owner was responsive and nearby and able to address any issues fast but also didn’t invade our privacy. There was baby gear, shovels, and sleds for us to use. There was plenty of space for all of us to enjoy the house and still have our own space. Beds were comfy (some had nice memory foam mattresses!) and it was clean. Owner also cut paths with his snowmobile for us to snowshoe on.We will definitely be back again for another stay!
