Great house for extended family!
We can’t say enough about this property and the owners, Bruce and Pam! Our extended family has been staying there annually since 2017 - that says it all! (And in recent years we’ve been using the adjacent coach house, too.) The house has everything we need - both inside and out. We especially love the views of the lake from the 2 large decks, small pier for fishing, firepit, and swingset. Recent additions - 4 paddle boards which we took full advantage of; and new this summer a ping pong table, which also saw lots of use. Bruce and Pam are not just hosts… they have become caring and helpful friends over the years We love it there and hope to return for years to come.

So much to do!
The living areas in the house are huge. Plenty of room to hang out or for enjoy some solitude. Our kids and grands had such a great time with the kayaks, paddleboards and sand toys. The yard is huge and we loved that it was fenced in to keep our pup and little ones from wandering. Neighbors are great and the community is "wave when they drive by friendly". We rented a pontoon and captain. (only lake residents can operate boats) for an afternoon to tour the lake and do some tubing which was a blast. Thanks, Pam and Bruce, for opening your home to our family!
