50th Anniversary
Review Submitted: August 4, 2011
Date of Stay: July 2011
During the first week of July 2011 our family gathered to celebrate our 50th wedding anniversary. There were 20 of us...our four children, their spouses, and our 10 grandchildren; some in Michigan, some from Minnesota, and some from North Carolina. During the week we had made arrangements to have family photos taken. As a surprise for us, they had secretly planned a "wedding"! they contacted a dear friend who is a priest that we have know for almost 48 years, and he came to celebrate our "wedding". There was special music, flowers, white netting bows on the trees, candles and a ceremony on the lawn overlooking the lake. It was beyond anything we expected or dreamed of. Although that was probably the highlight of the week, we had many other precious moments as well. Our son brought his boat up so there was tubing and wakeboarding, and just fun! The grandchildren range in ages from 21 down to 7 and they had a wonderful time spending face-to-face time together, not just "facebook" time together. The TV was on one time the last evening for a DVD movie. The accommodations were wonderful, everything was as expected and even more. If we had any concerns or questions, we just called Peter, the owner, and he had Scott, the caretaker, come over and handle the concerns. As we were getting ready to leave on the Saturday morning, there were many requests, "Grandma, can we do this again next year?" It may not be next year, but I hope it will happen again some time! Thank you for sharing your amazing log home with us. It was week that exceeded our expectations!!
