Summary: We stayed here for a family memorial/reunion and it was the perfect space for several families. There is space to be together and space for a break from each other. Each bedroom has its own bathroom which is a huge perk. The house is comfortable and feels like a home more than a rental. It’s well appointed with most anything you need, but we didn’t have quite enough towels for our party of 10. That was easily solved with a quick run in to town and didn’t impact our enjoyment of this truly lovely space. The fire pit area is so cool and we enjoyed s’mores out there every night. There are lots of homes around but great big trees that still make it feel like you have privacy - almost like a treehouse. The lake is just across the street and is perfect swimming space for little kids and a great spot to launch paddle boards. Parking is tight if you have larger vehicles but we made it work for us. It was really a perfect space for us and I know we’ll share stories about our time here for years. Thank you for sharing your home with us and we hope to come back again
