About this house rental
This special home was built during the depression by our grandfather K.G. Anthony. Many of the materials used in the construction were hand-picked by K.G. and his attention to detail is evident throughout the house. The house was designed to be comfortable without A/C, currently 6 of the 7 bedrooms have window A/C units.
The house is in excellent shape. The kitchen is fully equipped with a built-in dishwasher, a pilotless gas stove, a microwave, and a large refrigerator. The living room has oak hardwood floors and pine walls and ceilings which provide the perfect atmosphere for relaxing in front of the fire at the end of the day. All common areas are spacious, making our house ideal for family reunions and multi-family vacations.
Three day rentals are allowed in the spring and fall and 7 day rentals are required during July and August. The rental week extends from 4 pm Saturday to 10 am the following Saturday. Clean sheets are provided at the beginning of the week.
Every year we make improvements and upgrades. In 2025 we purchased a new AC unit for the first hallway bedroom. We added french drains behind the house to keep the basement dry and to avoid smells that some renters noticed. We also added luxury vinyl to the the three bedrooms that had carpeting and to update the master bedroom floor which I installed for my father in the summer of 1980. We have a new master bed frame on order from a local mennonite craftsman.
We hope that you and your family will enjoy this property as much as our family has over the years.

We rented this house last year and this year for a girls wine weekend trip. It is big enough to accommodate our large group of 18 women. We love the fire pit overlooking the lake. We will rent it again next year.

The house and location were spectacular and the owner’s communication was kind, helpful, and clear throughout. We will definitely keep this place in mind to return in the future!
6.0 / 10.0Average·Aug 2025
Ignore the name of the property and disavow yourself of the notion that this is a house. It’s a cabin. It is well situated for a large group. We had 7 adults, 2 near-adults, and 2 dogs. There was plenty of dish ware and silverware for all of us to eat together at the very large dining table. There’s not quite enough seating in the living room for everyone, but hopefully you’ll spend most of your time outdoors anyway.The lake-frontage can’t be beat. It feels very secluded. The yard was great for dogs or playing bocce. Plenty of seats around the fire ring for leisurely evenings. If your group is attentive, you’ll be treated to front row views of Osprey, Sea Gulls, and Bald Eagles fishing in the early mornings and evenings. Several deer frequented the backyard as well. The boat house has everything you’ll need to enjoy the shallow water near the dock. Our crew really liked the floating foam mat. We fished a lot and caught Bass, Sunfish, Gobis, and a couple of Catfish. One expects mice and insects in such a setting, but the nighttime visits from bats was a bit much. After we had one circling our heads in our bedroom at 4am, the owner suggested we keep the door to the bedroom hallway closed. That did keep them out of the bedroom, but we still had to chase them from the living room. I gave a middle of the road rating overall for three primary reasons: 1) the bats, 2) a nagging sewage smell, and 3) we arrived to find a lot of dirty dishes in the cabinets.
