The lake house was more fantastic than we hoped for. The lake views weer gorgeous from every angle of the house, and the quiet peacefull setting made it easy to unwind. Our group of three couples appreciated having separate bedrooms with private baths, giving everyong their own space.
The home was well-stocked with essentials, spotless, and offered easy access to the dock. We had a great time with all of the games-suffleboard, pool, air hockey, ping pong-and the standout moment was definitely the private chef dinner.
The concierge team was incredibly responsive from answering questions prior to our stay, arranging the private chef dinner, and kept us informed about a minor mechanical issue already scheduled for repair.
Highly recommend this property and hope we have the opportunity to return in the future!

This was our second time hosting a women’s retreat here. Such a beautiful home for a retreat. Appreciate the amount of beds. The large space for gathering. And the beautiful windows with a great view!

This is a beautiful property with privacy from the neighbors. We really enjoyed our stay at the house. The house was very clean and everything was in great working condition. I would highly recommend staying at this property. We used it for a work retreat. The main living room was perfect for our work sessions during the day. The living room couch was huge and very comfortable to sit on while we collaborated on our work projects. Thank you for being a great host!
