"Our stay with 8 adults, 6 children and a dog was perfect! The house is spacious and comfortable and divided up nicely enough for family privacy as needed.The lake is beautiful and enhanced by being accessible in two locations with plenty of boards and kayaks to enjoy. Our kids and grownups loved swimming out to the float. Life jackets available in many sizes made water sports stress free.Everyone slept well in very comfortable beds. The extra refrigerator in the garage was essential for us! And the game room offered a nice break for some group game playing! We had some glitch with check in information but when I called Janna directly the problem was solved. We have been wrapping up our summer this way for 5 years and this was voted as best by all!!"
