About this property

Entire place

You'll have the entire home to yourself and will only share it with other guests in your party.

Lake living in a relaxed family and pet-friendly home

If you’re looking for the perfect large gathering space, there is room for even the extended family here! Take a trip that is reminiscent of going to your grandparents’ log home or summer camp. Swim, swing, make S’mores, work puzzles, play board games, tennis, or basketball, kayak, bring your own boat for fishing or play or rent one locally. There is a boat ramp and a loading dock, but no overnight docking.

Discount available for 7 day rental ($300+ total).

PET/ALLERGY WARNING: Your well-behaved pets are welcome, but be aware there are cats and dogs that live here when you’re not visiting.

Keeping in mind the many small families that make up a large family like ours or a friend group, each room is designed to accommodate two adults and at least one additional child or adult. Tent camping in the backyard could even provide protected adventure for some.

A permanent ramp is located at the side entrance of the home, and a portable ramp for back entrances is available. Raised toilet seat with support handles is available. Please contact us with any questions.

There are two security cameras/doorbells on the premises covering front and back yard areas/pool.

Annual family vacation. Plenty of room for all of us to spread out. A nice kitchen with a great assortment of equipment. We love to cook most of our meals on family vacations. We enjoyed the pool to work off all the kids energy while the adults sunned. This was our second year at this house and we love it!

Family trip

Our family traveled from several different states to attend a family high school graduation. We have not been together for many years and the house was perfect for our time together. There was plenty of room for all of us to be comfortable and the pool was great! The owners were awesome and very attentive to our needs. We would definitely stay here again!

Absolutely amazing week spent with family from Pennsylvania, Maryland, North Carolina and Florida celebrating what would have been our Mother's, Grandmother's and Great-Grandmother's 100th birthday! We had plent of room for 21 people ranging in ages from 3 to age 70. The house was beautiful and very clean but most importantly comfortable and super "homey". We spent every morning on the large patio drinking coffee and visiting. The pool was a hit for all ages and very large to accommodate everyone. We had plenty of room to cook every meal there. The dining room was a perfect spot for meals, arts, crafts and lots of games. The screened in porch was perfect for puzzles and darts. We even enjoyed listening to our sister playing the piano. The loft was a perfect place for the teenage cousins to hang out. There are lots of places and space for everyone to spread out. The lounge chairs on the patio were a perfect spot for reading. The playground across the street was perfect for the kids and the dock perfect for fishing. We could not have found a better home to celebrate our family reunion!

Perfect for Family TimeWe rented this home for our son’s high school graduation, and it was all we hoped for and more. Rather than being scattered across hotel rooms, our family was able to stay together, enjoy time under one roof, and celebrate a milestone in a relaxed and welcoming place.The house had a great layout that worked well for our group. The many beds made it easy to pair siblings and couples with young children, while the master suite offered a quiet retreat for the grandparents. The full bathrooms throughout the house made getting ready every day easier, and the dedicated office space came in handy when work couldn’t wait. The kitchen and dining area were perfect for the adults to gather, and the kids had plenty to enjoy—from games and puzzles to the pool, kayaks, piano, firepit, and more. It's situated in a lovely neighborhood that made walking the dog easy, it's across the street from a playground, our boys had a lot of fun catching minos in the lake, and the outdoor spaces in the backyard were perfect! We appreciated that the home was pet-friendly and offered a bit of an escape from everyday routines while still being close enough to everything we needed. It was a great backdrop for a special time, and we’re thankful for the memories made there. Given another opportunity, we will gladly return! Thank you Ron and Joy for sharing your home with us for several days.
