We stayed for the weekend! Everything was great!
While this home could easily accommodate a family of 10 or 12, we were only two, visiting over a long weekend during an unseasonably warm spell for mid-November. We enjoyed the hot tub after days spent hiking around the parks and lakeside trails. We did not get to experience this home during its high summer season, when kids would no diloubt spend hours diving into the lake off the fork, swinging from the rope swing or playing pool, foosball and ping pong later in the garage into the night. Amply stocked with spices and cooking oil, a gift basket of cookies and chips, and a well accessorized kitchen with pots, pans, utensils and knives, we enjoyed peaceful nights' rest, waking with the morning light and doing puzzles until we were ready for bed. We came to unplug and recharge, and that is what we did. But the two large TVs and decent 5 GHZ wifi are a bonus if keeping up on college football or answering email are your needs.Several of the window sills need to be replaced and we had to go find light bulbs for a couple of bedside lamps. Other than that our stay was wonderful and we hope to go back in the late Spring or early summer to enjoy all the lake has to offer -- boating, fishing, swimming, and hawk watching... We must have seen two dozen hawks in the sky at one point, sitting down by the lake in the wooden swing around 5 pm, watching the sun descend and the golden light turn purple and fade into blackest night.

We have gone to this property 5 years in a row and we have enjoyed every time the family stayed there. It has great location and everything you need.
We will go back next year.
Two biggest complaints: there was no WiFi and the air conditioning vent in the downstairs bathroom leaked so bad we had to use all the towels and eventually a large pot to keep the floor dry. Communication via guest contact was useless. I emailed the first time at 6pm on Thursday, and it’s Sunday and I’ve still not gotten a response. There are plenty of other things that can be said about this listing both good and bad: the view is amazing. The outdoor seating areas were fantastic. And the hot tub worked great for us. But I would not book this listing again.
