The view is beautiful, and the home was perfect for our large family. The rooms downstairs were perfect for our older family members who had direct access to the back porch and lake. The check in process was easy and everything worked perfectly all weekend. We would visit again and again. If you’re thinking about it, do it!

This was the perfect place for a family get a way!! Plenty of room for all of us to sleep comfortably and a kitchen big enough for the cooking! We had everything we needed there! The view was breathtaking! We all felt like we could wake up everyday there! The water came right up to the backyard so there was no need to load the kayaks every time we finished.. just drag them up on the bank and enjoy more family time! Love, love, love this house and location!!!!

Outstanding location

My family loved sitting, playing, grilling, and eating on the back patio, with a beautiful view of the lake and surprisingly cool weather and few bugs. The property is rustic, but you can't beat the location on the north shore of Shaw Island and we spent our days renting boats and jet skis in the lake, our afternoons and evenings on the patio, and nights playing games and watching movies inside. It was a fantastic lake vacation!

Great house for families

We had a lovely stay. Absolutely beautiful property with tons of space to for kids to play and explore. The kids loved the downstairs game which they named the party room. We couldn't get over the fact we couldn't hear the kids when they were downstairs, which was great. We can't wait to come back!

Great Family Stay

We had a large group of 14 and the house was the perfect size. The kids loved sleeping in the game room on the daybeds with trundles. Location was amazing and we pretty much had the water to ourselves, even though it was the weekend right before 4th of July. Beautiful, open living/dining area upstairs allowed us to hang out together with many windows and a great lake view. My favorite spot was outside on the downstairs deck! It was very peaceful and the sunset was amazing!

Family Reunion

This is a nice house that can accommodate a big family. Has big windows in the back which gives great views of the lake. Only thing my wife didn’t like was the stairs main house is on top floor. House does have an elevator don’t know if it works and didn’t ask. We enjoyed our stay

Great family atmosphere

We had a great time at this lake house! The access to the outdoor space and the scenery were perfect. The pictures do not do this house justice. Water level was low but enough water to enjoy a day out in the lake. My daughter is small for her 7 years but enjoyed walking out into the water. We had a great night around the foozeball table and used the bbq grill every day! Thank you for allowing us into your home!

Stay was good minus the bugs

The property owner was very sweet. The back door didn’t lock, but the area was safe so we weren’t too worried about it. The pictures are accurate. The main concern was all of the spiders and bugs. It is the country, so we expected some but they had cob webs in the corners, by the doors. I’ve been bitten by a brown recluse (a few years ago) so I had a really difficult time relaxing with the numbers of spiders.
