I have stayed at this property before. It is a great house for larger groups in beautiful setting. A couple things you need to know. There was no fire extinguisher where indicated in front door closet. The dishwasher does not work. Shuts off a lot during the wash cycle. Trash and recycle bins in the garage were not empty. Used towels in bin in closet in upstairs bathroom.

Property was beautiful and well maintained. Great view of the lake an plenty of space. We used this for family coming in for at wedding. This his property is three levels and a lot of stairs. So not ideal for our situation with ageing parents. We also had the bridesmaids and groomsmen come over on the morning of the wedding and parking was difficult to work out. The garage only holds one car with much of the space being used for storage of lawn furniture and the driveway holds 4 cars and is not level but steep making it a little tricky for aging parents. We had our challenges but in all this is a top notch home and we would return again and recommend it to anyone.

Trip home to to visit my childhood
Everything about this property and the management company is top of the top. Absolute professionalism, cleanliness, and stunning views to boot! Both check-in and checkout process were quite easy. The fully stocked kitchen was great as we were able to cook an excellent Seabass and risotto dinner for my childhood friends. My 10 year old daughter woke up every morning, asking to go fishing with the provided poles and tackle. It was just precious and the memories we made will be kept for a lifetime. Bonfire with s’mores, sunrises on the lake that just can’t be beat (even our 15-year-old woke up every morning to run out and take pictures of the sunrise), and drinking our morning cup of coffee looking out the window over the water was incredible. We had so many people to see and visit, but this location and property made it hard to leave every day. Really can’t say enough good things. We will return for sure!

An Amazing Stay at an Unforgettable house
The entire stay was unforgettable. The neighbors were sweet, the house was clean and provided every tool of cutlery we would have needed for the week and the lake provided fun for the entire family. I would very highly recommend this property. It was well worth the price we paid and we would rent again.

Perfect spot for a relaxing girls weekend
This house was so gorgeous! Big beautiful windows and the lake was so close. We had a relaxing girls weekend at the house and it was perfect. Only complaint is that the listing says it sleeps 10, but there were only enough beds for 8 people. One of us had to sleep on an air mattress since it seemed like the only other option was to sleep on a couch

Beautiful House. Modern yet cozy
We had a great time staying here! The house was beautiful and had everything we needed. There was enough space for everyone to have privacy along with a large kitchen and living room on the main floor to hang out. Follow the directions provided by the landlord and checking in will be a breeze! We were a bit concerned about the neighbors based on a previous review but we had no issues - the neighborhood was quiet but the few people we ran into were friendly.

Beautiful, pristine home!
This house is gorgeous and we all drew in our breath as we walked in. It's perfectly clean, gorgeously decorated, and everything is thought out beautifully. My friends and I had a small college reunion while in town for a wedding, and the house was perfect, comfortable, and user-friendly. My only minor complaints: A message from the neighbor letting us know she had to wake up at 4 am the next day and to make sure we were quiet was a bummer. We were only 6 people and weren't planning to be noisy, but we spent the entire night on edge worried that we'd get in trouble and ended up totally turning the music off and going to the basement at 7:30 because we couldn't get that out of our heads. The 10 pm quiet time request felt reasonable and we could have left it at that. Also- it felt isolating to a diverse group of guests from NYC and LA to have a Trump book sitting on the coffee table. We all had a bit of an icky feeling after that and wish the owner's politics could have been left out of an otherwise stunning home.

I’m am sorry about the neighbor leaving you a note about not being noisy. While we are very considerate of them, the quite hours are 10pm and you should have been able to enjoy your time outside until then.

GREAT VACATION AT MINNESTAY- LAKEFRONT LUXURY
My family and I had a WONDERFUL stay at Minnestay- Lakefront Luxury property in August 2018!! We had high expectations and it did not disappoint. The property is beautiful and supplied with everything you need for a luxury vacation. We did NOT have to leave once to run to the store to pick anything up. And for our large family that is common. :) We appreciated how well stocked the cupboards were and the amenities were wonderful. Lance assisted us with a great location to rent a boat for our vacation. The rental location was only a couple of minutes from the property, it was quick and easy and the staff was wonderful. One night we asked for a couple of small items and they literally were at our door within a couple of hours. High attention to detail! I appreciated the great service. Whenever I needed anything, I would make a call or send an email and was responded to immediately. We will definitely come back. We had a wonderful time, the property is amazing and the property management was outstanding. We will definitely come back!!!
