My family stayed at this lovely lake house over the holidays and had a wonderful time. The kids fished every day and built a fire in the fire pit. We cooked Christmas dinner in the fully stocked kitchen. This cabin was great because the kids could play on the lower third level and the adults could enjoy ourselves upstairs. The view overlooking the lake was amazing. We loved waking up and being able to walk out on the deck and drink our coffee. All of the rooms were nicely decorated just as the pictures showed. We could not get the Internet to work & I had to call the owners & they immediately called us back. They were great to deal with. I would highly recommend any of their properties!!!

Our large family enjoyed spending our Christmas vacation in this beautiful house. What a treat to have so much space for the children to enjoy. The kitchen was large enough for multiple cooks to work side by side and any kitchen utensil, appliance or dish you might need was available. The adults enjoyed having their own bedroom suite and the children enjoyed the hot tub. Thanks again for such a wonderful house.

This property delivered on every level. Outstanding amenities, beautifully decorated, spacious yet homey. We could not have asked for a better setting for our family reunion. People came from California, Colorado, North Carolina, Washington D.C., Ohio and everyone was impressed with this wonderful home. We hope to be back at a future date. Our hosts were very helpful and responded promptly to any questions we had. Thank you Andrea and Brian for a wonderful weekend.

A beautifully kept home with all the amenities you could want for a wonderful lake vacation. Everything was just as the pictures show. The kitchen left nothing to be desired; it was a delight to cook for 18 with top quality appliances and extras. Bedroom and bath spaces were very comfortable. The landscaping made it a home away from home. The top level of the boat dock, fire-pit, porches and outside hot tub were our favorite hang outs...with the 3 family room high-def TVs a close second for "grandpa" and the little ones. The owners made it a special place to vacation in many ways. The lake is amazingly beautiful and quiet with clear water and swimming access in the lake was easy even for the children. Nice people at the marinas too. A great place to vacation!

We stayed here for three nights during mid-February. The house was simply amazing. It seemed that no expense had been spared. It is ornate and huge, with ample room for our group of ten adults and three children. We made use of the huge TVs and sound systems in each of the living rooms playing movies, watching TV, and holding running video game contests. We were very pleasantly surprised at the huge movie collection and the number of games they had for the Xbox 360. We also made use of the huge hot tub and the grill on the upper deck. One thing that really stood out about this house as compared to all the other cabins we've rented as a group over the years was the well-appointed kitchens. Not only did they have every conceivable appliance, dish, or utensil, but they oftentimes had very nice ones available in triplicate.

We would definitely return here, especially if we could do it in warmer weather so we could take advantage of the surroundings.

One word of caution to future renters: The driveway is incredibly steep and can be quite intimidating the first time you drive down it!

This place was perfect for our extended family. We had 26 people and never once felt crowded. There are so many decks and seating areas to hang out that everyone had a place to be. Our ages ranged from 13 to 80 and all had a fantastic time. The kitchens were completely stocked with everything we needed to cook meals for so many people. The early morning ski runs were fabulous and we had a great time hanging out on the dock. We are planning to bring everyone back next year.

Simply Amazing!

Two words describe this Lake House...Simply Amazing! Andrea and Brian thought of everything to make your stay awesome! The house is beautifully decorated and stocked with everything to make your vacation enjoyable: towels, linens, bedding, fully stocked kitchens, Margaritaville Machine, ice maker, etc. You honestly just have to pack up your clothes, bring some food, grab your fishing poles and go. Every inch of the house is exactly as described, and I know my family (20 of us) enjoyed all of it. We loved the two story dock, swimming platform, outdoor firepit, hottub, gas firepit, and upstairs deck with tables and chairs. We also enjoyed the library of DVDs and the older boys loved the gaming system. We had a family reunion here (ages ranged from 5-88) and we all fell in love with this place. We can't wait to come back next year!

What a wonderful week! The setting is gorgeous with views in every room. The furnishings are cozy and comfortable. The kitchen is great for cooking big meals and we ate many meals on the patio and on the dock. The floating dock was perfect for a leisurly day on the lake. We would love to stay here again!

Thanks to Brian and Andrea for sharing their beautiful lake home with our family for a wonderful vacation. Brian and Andrea are extremely easy to work with and are very responsive with any questions we had. Their house is simply amazing and beautifully decorated! The kitchen is stocked with everything you would ever need to fix meals for a large family. The beds are super comfy and the linens are top quality. Brian and Adrea did not skimp on anything, a first class house and beautiful property!! Our family vacation was filled with many fond memories that will last a life time. We hated packing up and leaving the lake and will certainly will be back for many years to come.

Wonderfully decorated, able to make everyone feel at home! The lake access is terrific with a two story, lighted dock that can easily accommodate 4 boats. Wonderful stone steps to the lake with Fire pit. Several indoor areas for gathering. Decks fully furnished for relaxing moments. Large hot tub. This one can really accommodate 30 people, comfortably.

This is a wonderful way to spend a week...sign up soon!
