The house was very cozy. We had a good time. The fireplace was the best part because it was so cold outside. We hope to stay in the summertime and do some outdoor stuff. All in all the house was great.

This was our first family mini vacation for my mom's birthday and I invited my aunt and cousins. We had a great time just relaxing, used the paddleboat, and canoeing. The house is amazing, we had enough room for everyone.

Wonderful

Review Submitted: September 8, 2009 Date of Stay: June 2009
My family and I had a great time. It is a great place for young children with the lake and the beach right out the back door. The lake was not too deep so the children could play with little worry about them getting into trouble.
I would highly reccomend the house and would return,
The house had everything you needed to make your stay very comfortable.
We did not get to any restaurants because we had a very active 3 year old.
There was a lot to do in the area.
We arrived 6/27/09

Our Best Anniversary Ever

Josie and Gene Toms River, New Jersey, USA
Review Submitted: June 22, 2009 Date of Stay: June 2009
What a great idea it was to spend our 40th wedding anniversary up at the Lake, with all our family around us.The moment we threw back the drapes and saw the beautiful views of the Lake and the wrap-around deck overlooking the beach and dock area; that put one big smile on our faces and we knew we were going to have a great time.The house was clean and well kept. The Great Room connects to the dinning area and the kitchen, which has a cute breakfast bar, sky lights to let in the sun and a great big fireplace.We fished off the dock ,went canoeing, we saw a young buck, a doe and a baby dear, we saw wild turkeys too. I got some great photos.In the evening we barbecued and ate alfresco . We watch the beautiful sunsets and when it got dark we went in to light a fire and told stories and reminisced about old times. We payed cards, dominos, trivia pursuit,
We listened to good music,enjoyed some good wine and we enjoyed just being together.Even our little dog Sam was right at home,the house really is comfy . Well we made some great memories, I would recommend this vacation for young or old. Thank you Joe and Leanne for sharing your Lake Home, we all had a great time!

My weekend in Paradise

Kim's Escape Stewart Manor
Review Submitted: October 29, 2008 Date of Stay: September 2008
I thought this place was great with a beautiful view of the Lake. It has all the ammenties, well maintained, clean and cozy. The house is spacious and open and you don't feel like your on top of each other which is key with kids. We canoed, fished, bbq'd, and just relaxed fireside. It's perfect for families and even better with multiple families. I would definitely recommend this place and I would come back again and rent from them. Overall awesome weekend

A Real Treat!

Review Submitted: September 26, 2008 Date of Stay: September 2008
We spent a weekend with three families and had a great time! The house was beautiful and roomy with a nice private beach. The kids enjoyed fishing, boating, and playing in the sand. Adults enjoyed relaxing looking at the sunset on the lake! I would definitely recommend this lake house to a friend - it was wonderful!!!

Excellent Vacation

Bradnessa St. Catharines Ontario Canada
Review Submitted: August 5, 2008 Date of Stay: July 2008
The cottage was great. We had two families (4 adult 4children) and there was plenty of room. The cottage is well stocked and in excellent conditions. The Big Bass club house and pool were enjoyed and a nice addition to our vacation. The beached were also enjoyable and had life guards which allowed the adults to relax a bit.
The kids enjoyed expolring around the cottage and there was minimum traffic near the cottage location. The lake is nice and the cottage has two canoes and a paddle boat that were nice for checking out the lake. The beach at larsen lake is a 5-10 minute paddle away and there are tennis courts, life guards and room for the kids to play.
Overall this was a first rate family vacation and an enjoyable time was had by all. An added bonus was you coud sit out at night and not worry about bugs, there were none. Fishing off the dock was ok for younger kids and swimming at the cottage isn't the best but again there are two nice beaches close by.
Communication with the owners was flawless and made the experience worry free. Highly recommend this cottage.

We had the most wonderful weekend! Our 2-year-old son thoroughly enjoyed the beach, as did our labrador. We were able to spot fish from the dock (we didn't bring our rods) and we scooped-up some minnows in a bucket which delighted my son to no end!
The house was equipped with all of the comforts of home, and non of the hassles...a great place to relax!

Well, where does one start! We rented this great home for a family vacation with a very sick mom. All of her children were able to spend a peaceful, relaxing week and enjoy each other with out the pressures of everyday life. The home had everything you could possibly ask for and more. The ability to step out onto the back deck and then be 50 feet to the calm beautiful lake is something to be experienced by all. We have already ask the homeowner for rental time for next season already and can see ourselves going back often! The directions to the home and how to operate the home along with the owners requirements where laided out so perfect that a minor could have followed them!! We thank the Christels for allowing us to rent their home! Thanks Agian
