This was the second year in a row that we rented this property for a meet up of California, New Jersey, and Maryland friends. In total we were 3 families; 6 adults and 5 children ranging in age from 11 to 15. In the main cottage there was plenty of room for us to share meals, enjoy game and movie nights together, and take in the lake view from the deck and screened in porch. The kitchen was well equipped and we easily prepared nightly meals for the whole group. Between the main cottage, boat house, carriage house, and bunkie, there were comfortable beds and bedrooms to spare, and space for privacy when one wanted to break away from the crowd. The property is beautiful, with stone walkways to the dock and a treed shoreline.
The location on the lake is fantastic. The house is on the mainland across from Grandview Island. The waterway there is less choppy than on the more open parts of the lake, with long straight runs that are perfect for water sports. The ski boat we rented from a local marina got a real workout, as did the water trampoline and paddled water craft that belong to the house. The water off the dock was great for swimming and paddling around.
All of our families agreed that this is the best group accommodation we have found and an unbeatable vacation spot. We are hoping to return next year.
