We had a family get-together - 8 of us in total: 3 kids, 4 adults, and Grandma - and the house was perfect for everything we needed. Matthew was a wonderful host and very communicative. The house feels wonderfully homey and all the little things you need in your day-to-day are thoughtfully provided. As it was an extended family vacation, we definitely put the kitchen to heavy use and we were never short of any tool or gadget we were looking for. Oh, but the LAKE! Kayaks and paddleboard were in heavy rotation the whole week. The dock sits on a quiet cove (good for learners) but it's only a short paddle to the bigger channel for the more experienced. Finally, the house is only 10-15 minutes to any kind of shopping you need and many restaurants as well. We even ordered UberEats with no problem. In short, this house feels like rural paradise but offers all the comforts you might be used to.
