Let me just preface this by saying that during the last 10 years we have stayed at over 40 vacation homes throughout the midwest. This one stands out and I am grateful to the owner for letting us enjoy this lakefront property and create memorable family experiences.
We had an extended weekend stay with kids 9-13 and greatly enjoyed all amenities the house had to offer and the private beach. What stood out to me the most, was the striking architectural elegance of the home. Inside and out, everything in its proper place, harmonious symmetry and masterful design execution down to the smallest detail.
Other highlights for us are the outdoor spaces and private beach. We would spend long hours at the beach and nights around the firepit on the patio enjoying ourselves and the vistas. I loved the beach. In the early hours, waters were calm and kids would swim, play games, and go pebble hunting. At the time, water was waste deep 50 yards into the lake which was awesome.
Mornings I would run up and down the stairs that lead to the beach for an awesome workout. That said, if you have any kind of mobility issues, you will not be able to enjoy the beach as the vertical drop to it is significant. The athletic types would love it.
I would highly recommend this vacation home and we will hopefully be back someday soon.
