Beware of the seaweed and bugs
The house itself is perfect for a larger group. There was plenty of room in the house for 20+ people to eat and hang out. The rooms are great and it was nice to have a private balcony. The outside deck facing the lake provided plenty of out door setting. The yard was very large. The only thing the I thought was misleading about the description of the house was "the water is great for swimming". The water was horrible! There was so much seaweed my kids couldn't swim at all! Also, because there is a swap on one side of the house, it gets very, very buggy at night! Like millions of little bugs. If you are not interested in swimming and don't mind the bugs, this is a perfect rental house.
Owner's Response: Thank you for your positive review and we are glad you enjoyed the house. The location and layoiut of the house as you say is great for large get togethers and informal relaxation. As is common throughout the lake you can get bug hatches that vary from month to month and year to year. This happens to be a problem this year due to non-stop rain. The wetland to the right is actually a good place to explore with abundant wildlife such as Blue Heron, beavers, frogs, etc. The milfoil weeds also varies year to year, and due to constant storms and Southwest wind, the milfoil cut up by boats has blown into our shore area. We employ a weed harvesting barge to manage the problem , and is now operating after a late start. There are great sandy beaches and State Parks to the North and South within a 10 to 20 minute drive if the swimming is not up to par. One thing you failed to mention is that the bay has spectacular fishing if you know where and how to catch bass, pike, sheepshead and walleye.
We are glad you enjoyed your stay.
Thanks,
The owners
