I have a large family and we all try to get together for a summer lake trip. This home had plenty of room to spread out. It was so cool having the downstairs living area so the night owls could play games without disturbing the people sleeping upstairs. The kitchen was plenty roomy to cook in, and the outside areas were lovely. The lake was beautiful and pretty quiet, we had so much fun swimming at the dock, using the kayaks, and our own paddleboards . There were groceries and gas less than 5 minutes away. The only thing to note is the bathroom layout. It's less than ideal. Th only bathroom not connected to a bedroom is the half bath on the main floor. The basement bathroom is jack-and-jill-esque, connecting to two bedrooms, and also the living room. So if someone in one of the bedrooms went into the bathroom from their room, and locked the main door, then went back into their room, everyone else was now locked out of the bathroom. But that was a small inconvenience and well worth the trade off.
