Gone Fishing

We rented this house for our yearly dad trip. 7 guys had more than enough room everywhere here. Even had room to spare. Plenty of rooms, plenty of bathrooms. Great game room. Plenty of TVs. The dock and lake were beautiful. We were all very comfortable. Ac/heat work great. Beds were comfy. Lounge areas were large and comfy. Parking was fine. We only had 3 cars so no issues. We didn’t have or rent a boat but if we did, it would have been super easy. Nice dock. Great for fishing too. Cause a few fish. Our favorite amenity was probably the game room/downstairs lounge area. That’s probably where we hung out the most. We also really enjoyed the back patio and upper decks. Beautiful views. The slope down the driveway was rather steep but we didn’t have any issues. We didn’t walk the driveway. The steps down to the dock were steep and a bit challenging in the dark. There seems to be lights on the trail but we couldn’t find the switch. Kitchen had everything we needed but we didn’t really cook. Mostly ordered food. Overall, it had everything we really needed. Great spot and I’ll try to rent again next year.

We had a fantastic experience at this wonderful and very clean home, especially considering it’s dog-friendly—there were no dog smells or hair anywhere! The space was just right for our family and our two dogs. The kitchen was well-stocked with plenty of cookware, and it was clear that the owners took great care of the property. Everything was functional and tidy, although we did notice that the knives could use replacement or sharpening. Linen service was provided, but there was no make-up service, which was a bit of a task at the start of our vacation. The location near Goodview is perfect, situated in a private part of the lake. The floating dock was large enough to accommodate the 24-foot pontoon we rented, which made our time on the water even more enjoyable. We loved the fire pit table—perfect for a cozy evening outdoors on a nice fall night. The walk from the dock to the house did involve several steps, but they were well-maintained and manageable for us. Just a note for anyone with mobility issues: it’s something to consider. One of the highlights was the movie room on the top floor. On a rainy day, we all gathered there for a movie marathon, and it was a blast! Overall, we would definitely stay here again. Everyone in the family loved it!

We had a wonderful time at this fantastic home, which was more than spacious enough for our extended family of eight and our two small dogs. Our adult kids and their spouses stayed on the upper level, with several rooms allowing everyone to spread out comfortably. The game tables and video games were a big hit, providing plenty of entertainment for all ages. We loved gathering around the firepit table at night. It was perfect for relaxing and sharing stories. The kitchen was clean and well equipped, with plenty of cooking utensils and spices. Having two refrigerators was incredibly helpful, and we appreciated the coffee pot with filters and the Keurig machine. There was ample seating both inside and out, including on the deck and down by the dock. We rented a boat for the week, and being able to dock it overnight was a great convenience. The weather during our stay was perfect, but for any rainy days, we found lots of board games and books available in the home. The yard gently sloped down to the dock and lake, which was a nice change from other lake houses with steep stairs. Overall, this was a fantastic house for a large family, and we had a great time. We have already booked for next summer!
