The whole family had a great time together and there was something for everyone to do. Bedroom setup great, all the activities available and pontoon boat big enough for our family. Supplies were well thought out.

WOW! What a wonderful reunion week! Our family, ages 18 to 81, starts planning our reunions at least a year in advance. We travel from California, Colorado, Texas, Virginia. Without question, the MacDaddy is our most spectacular experience! We were fortunate to have good weather the entire week. The gorgeous home, the beautiful grounds, the amenities, the amazing number of ‘toys” both in the home, on the grounds, in the water…WOW! Certainly all this is attributable to the owners of the home. Their attention to every detail of the entire property made out experience very memorable. Some family experiences: Rides on the pontoon boat were fantastic! Every water toy was used throughout the week! Paddleboards, kayaks, water trampoline/slide, pool, hot tub… Because we were at the MacDaddy while the Olympics were happening, our Auntie devised our own take on the Olympics. Using the many toys available, she created several competitions such as timed kayak race, indoor curling, etc. Replicas of the gold/silver medals were awarded. We appreciated being able to watch Olympic events on the many TV’s. The Boat House was a favorite gathering spot for many activities. Bar-b-que cooking…some dinners, a special delicious breakfast prepared/cooked by the grandkids! Yum! A sincere thank you to the owners for providing our family a beautiful place to celebrate our reunion! Your lovely home/property and so much more will be in all our 2024 reunion photos…we will never forget you!

We had the most amazing time! There was no shortage of things to do. We spent our days boating, kayaking, paddleboarding and swimming. We also enjoyed simply relaxing by the water. Whether it was reading a book on the dock, or just soaking in the sun, the lake provided a perfect spot for this. There was not one amenity that was overlooked. The house was perfect for multiple families. We can't wait to go back!

My family of 21, my husband and I, 6 of our 7 children, spouses and 8 grandchildren, most drove from Connecticut, drive was rough but by the end of the week everyone was asking each other if they would do the drive again, a resounding YES! This place is amazing. The house is so comfortable, beds, relaxing areas, pool, hot tub, oh and the boathouse was a favorite of mine. Everyone swam, fished, jumped off the trampoline, went on boat rides, had fires at night with s’mores and night swimming. We made some wonderful lasting memories! Our 3 yr old Grandson cried the morning we had to leave, he said “no Mommy this is my bed and home now” lol. The Holden and Chris were there to meet us and Holden stopped by mid week and took care of all our needs, he is a special find Chris! We hope to be back in 2026. We do our reunion every 2 years. Thank you for a very special week!

So clean, so well appointed, so many nice touches, so well laid out, so comfortable (best beds!), so many fun activities, and so many options for large groups to have a great time!
