Great house. Plenty of room inside and out. 8 high school classmates (from a long time ago) The 3 beds in one room were a little small for adults, but it worked fine.

Peaceful stay
Beautiful home with plenty of room for lounging around. Very accommodating hosts. Plenty of things to do, from kayaking, board games, and a ping pong table that was used a lot! There is even a nice poker table in the loft area for card games. Plenty of countertop space for preparing meals. There are 2 different boat launches 10 minutes away in either direction from the house if you are into fishing or boating. Seen turkeys and deer in the morning while drinking coffee on the deck which overlooks the lake. Just off to the side of the deck was a large area for campfires. Would definitely recommend this place to stay. We are already looking at schedules for next year.

Just okay
Property looks like it gets a lot of traffic, which is great; but also could use a deep cleaning on all horizontals. Everyone has a different degree of expectations vs what's being offered I get it. Given that general area around the lake and premium rate, the property condition was average..

It has everything you need for a weekend or long weekend of fun. Golf courses close by, kayaks, bikes, non fire pit, a ginormous nearby Kwik Trip, and, best of all, beautiful views of the lake and woods from the deck and inside in the open concept dining/family room area.

Great home with perfect amenities and location
We had a wonderful experience renting and staying at this home and will be back again. The location is perfect for ice fishing and the amenities have everything that is needed for a friends or family trip. The home is so spacious we didn't use most of the space, would be perfect for a large family gathering.

Beautiful property
This is a beautiful house with lots of room. It is very well stocked. The outside patio and deck are large and offer a wonderful view. Very private. There is no private access to the lake and no pier nor the ability to fish from the property. The public beach at Lure is clean and nice. Communication with the property owner prior to our arrival was fast and they very thoroughly answered all my questions.

Perfect Getaway
My entire family spent a wonderful week in this home to celebrate my Parents' 50th wedding anniversary. The space could not have been more perfect. We hiked the trail around the lake, swam at nearby beaches, kayaked, fished and even explored some of the nearby state parks. The boat launch next door was ideal for the fishing boats our party had as well. The hosts we very attentive and quick to respond to any questions. The home was well appointed and fit our needs and more. The back deck was a great place to relax and enjoy an adult beverage in the afternoons/evening or start your day off with coffee in the morning. I would highly recommend this home and look forward to visiting it again in the future. Thank you!

Wonderful for Multi-generation Gathering
The house set-up was great for our 3-generation family gathering. The bedrooms are spacious and with enough separation from the dining/family areas to allow night owls and early birds to co-exist! The owners' description of amenities was accurate. We enjoyed the beach and a pontoon rental at the Lure, hiked Roche-A-Cri State Park trails and relaxed on the patio at the house. The streets around the development are quiet enough that we were very comfortable riding bicycles with our young grandchildren. The ping-pong table was a welcome distraction for some on our one rainy day; while others found a corner to catch up on reading. Meal prep space and equipment was good for our group of nine. This may sound small to some; but, having access to the clean garage was huge for us! We stored our bicycles, pfd's, coolers, and other outdoor gear in the garage with plenty room left for us to leave shoes and rain gear as we came and went.
