I stayed here for a week with my kids in the dead of winter, and we were not disappointed! The lake was frozen over, we were able to walk out on the ice a ways and this was a treat for the kids. The hot tub was always ready, even in sub zero temperatures! The house was comfortable and roomy for me and my 2 kids. Definitely going to be back I. The summer to check out the island bar/restaurant in the middle of the lake, I noticed the house has a paddle boat! Awesome spot!!!
