Summary: This house was perfect for our family of 9. There was plenty of space for everyone! We enjoyed playing games, walking around the lake and fishing while we were there. We especially loved being able to fit around the dinner table to spend time together at each meal. The hot tub was perfect for evening relaxation, and we had at least 2 nights around the fire pit. The hosts are extremely responsive and accommodating, and we really appreciated the hospitality. Most of all, the house was decorated for Christmas and it felt like home! We loved this stay and can’t recommend it enough!
