This place was even better than advertised. A lot of room to hangout inside, outside, on the beach and tons of beds for everyone to sleep comfortably. All the additional provided amenities were awesome as well. Great time

Friends and I had a terrific time. Property is spacious and private with an outstanding view. Great location! We had a great time!

We had a large group (12 adults and 12 kids - all under 6). Plenty of space and things to do for everyone. We stayed on the property the whole time (except for some kayak rides) and didn’t feel trapped or cramped at all. The water and sky were different every day and beautiful. We saw two rainbows and regularly woke up to see the sunrises. The evening skies were incredible. The great room is massive and where we spent a lot of our time and ate all of our meals; it held us all comfortably with a lot of extra space. We enjoyed the fire pit in the sand, the sand volleyball court, the large beachfront, the main deck, the two refrigerators, the flattop grill, and all the games and books. John was an excellent host, fielding our questions quickly and even making sure there was enough at the place for the kids. A couple of the days, the water and sky had more of a Florida/Hawaii feel than a Midwest feel. For our stay, the water was ice cold and the biting flies were everywhere, but neither of those things made anyone say they wouldn’t want to go back. That’s how much we enjoyed everything else. We ate in all but one night and got pizza at Jozwiak’s Bar & Grill that night. Highly recommended. Some of us are foodies with a love for Chicago pizza, and it measures up. About 20 min from the place on your way in, but worth the drive (if you don’t catch it on the way). Several of us expressed a desire to come back (even though it’s quite a trip from where a lot of us live), and some even expressed an interest in buying the place (not that it’s for sale!). Just shows how good of a time we had there. It’s wonderful.

Rented this home for a 70th Birthday gathering for my mom and all her kids and grandkids. It was the perfect spot and was plenty of room for our group of 8 adults and 8 kids. My whole family agreed that it would have been hard to find a better place for our event and all of us would rent it again in heartbeat. I'll bullet point some highlights: - Beautiful lake views - Plenty of room for our large group - Grand room was amazing and kitchen areas were more than accommodating to prepare large meals. - Great communication with owner - Excellent beach with soft sand and clear water - Fun to be able to use the kayaks. - Clean rooms and beds If you have little ones and are looking to rent this property, here are a couple things to keep in mind - these are in no way a detraction, just a couple things to keep in mind: - Sunrise is super early during summer months, so you might want to bring extra blackout curtains to hang up over a couple of the bedroom windows that face East. - Bedroom floors were carpeted or wood, but floors in main grand room are hard so if you have infants, be sure to bring some soft blankets or mats for them to crawl/lay on. Loved staying here, would highly recommend.

This property is amazing. Starting from mesmerizing lake views and sandy beach right outside the house to enormous living/family room with open plan. We went with the group of 5 families with kids, and had plenty of room for everyone. Everybody had lots of fun inside and outside the house. We took many amazing pictures and left with even more great memories. I will definitely recommend this property for your next vacation. Host is very organized and very helpful

During Memorial Day weekend, we decided to rent out this property! The location of this property was private and peaceful, located right on the lakefront, providing incredible views. The property was spacious and clean. The host was very helpful and kind! Looking forward to renting this great property again!
