Great accommodations for a large group. The home was surface cleaned well but is in need of some minor repairs and a deep cleaning both inside and out needs to be done.

We have stayed here for the last 4-5 years. Place is perfect for our entire family of 16. Can’t imagine finding a nicer place for our group. Owner and wife very helpful folks. We had a great time! Thanks.

Overall, good, but bedrooms are either huge or tiny. Some of us were cramped into tiny rooms with poor ventilation.

Our family of 16 has stayed here the last three years and have it booked next year. The place serves a large group at a very fair price. It works out perfectly for us.

This our second year staying here. The house has everything you need. The clean clear lake is the best. We spent hours in the water.

We had a great time having our family of 20 together for a week at this wonderful home. From bedrooms to a spacious living area, this is a place that has plenty of room for our family.

8/10

The interior fit our family well with my wife and I, three adult children, and two spouses, and 7 grandchildren. The game room in the basement was an extra place for the older ones to go on our rainy day. Very nice tables and chairs on the deck made outdoor meals a pleasure, though the patio doors to the deck are heavy to operate. We enjoyed the swim raft and the two canoes. We thought there was a paddleboat, but it wasn't out. The dock has very good fenders and cleats for tying up a motorboat. The beach is shaded by afternoon, so not the best for cooler days, but nice when it was over 90 degrees.

Very nice place to stay, plenty of room. The parking isn’t ideal in the winter, we had 3 pickups with 29’ trailers and had to mess around a lot to get parked. The house is dated but clean and cozy. Would definitely recommend.

The house is perfect and has everything you need for a vacation getaway. The property is beautiful and the sandy beach is perfect for swimming. The water was clear with a sandy bottom. We would definitely consider booking for another year.

Love this place. This was our second year. I’m a little surprised that renters don’t have preference for the same week the following year if they are willing to pay the deposit immediately. We tried to rent the same week next year but it was taken. Just would have thought that after 2 years you might get some respect. Guess I was wrong.

This large spacious house is a great place for a winter getaway. We recently stayed there for a snowmobile trip. The house has everything you need to have a great time and is right off the snowmobile trail.

10/10

The layout and the common areas supported our group. As snowmobilers we had ample room for everything and everyone. The biggest concern is parking for all the trailers for an excessively large group (19).

10/10

Beautiful lakeside retreat in the north woods. We used the house as our base for daily sightseeing trips to waterfalls, state parks, Lake Superior, etc. It had all the amenities we needed plus some. We look forward to returning some day !
