Big Vacation
We’ve come every year for a while and this house and property meet our needs: enough beds for our large family, plenty of living space, great yard, beach, and shallow water for the kids! Jerry and Tom are great to work with, too! We’ll be back next year!

Our summer happy place
This is our 2nd stay at this property. Great for our annual family vacation. Grandma and Grandpa were very comfortable with the first floor suite and short and level walk to the lake. The location works excellent for our Shel Haven canoe day and our golf day. Having use of the space across the street for parking and play is a nice bonus.

Great Getaway!
We took several customers on a snowmobile trip and wanted easy access to the trails, an area to grill and a nice place for all of us to stay together. Very pleased with the home and the entire process. Would recommend to anyone, groups big or small!

We loved the place. The house was very nice and in very good shape. It was nice and clean and the kitchen was well stocked with dishes and pans. The grandchildren loved it, they got to play in the water and outside. We enjoyed the water toys too. The kids did alot of golfing, they love the courses near by. We would love to stay at the place again. Thank you very much

Very nice
Very nice house and it's huge with many seating areas. The yard and (tiny) beach are great. But a few areas for improvement are worth mentioning. Please add lifejackets for those using the water toys. The screens to the upstairs windows were not installed, but rather leaning against the wall. The sheets in some beds were very old/pilled. (The towels were fabulous!) Finally, those with allergies would appreciate if unscented detergent was used in the laundry. Having said all that, if you need a spacious house with lots of room and a nice, private waterfront yard, this is a good choice. Great sunsets!

Vacation fun.
The house worked well for our group of 8 adults and 2 children, although it could use a little refreshing or updating. There was plenty of room for everyone. The lake and beach were great for children and lake activities, and the property's proximity to golf courses, walking paths and bike trails was certainly a plus.
