Perfect for Family

We had a wonderful weekend with family of all ages! Plenty of room for kids to play and have fun. They loved being in the pool and our elderly mother could sit on the deck on the main level and see everything that was going on! We hope to do it again next year!

Perfect Thanksgiving Weekend

22 members of our family spent the Thanksgiving weekend at Timber Estate and it was almost as if this house was built for us. There were several areas throughout for congregating and relaxing; the sofas and chairs were beyond comfortable. There were plenty of bedrooms and bunkrooms, each with its own private bath; perfect when we each needed a break from our crowd. There were all sorts of recreational opportunities, both indoors and out; no one was ever bored. Our family gathers annually for Thanksgiving; this year, the raves were all about the house. The hosts were super communicators, providing helpful information and advice before and during our stay. There are not enough words to convey how wonderful this property is, especially if your group is large and covers almost every age and gender. Our only surprise was that there was no bath soap in any of the bathrooms, but this was more than offset by all the great features throughout the property. Highly recommended.

Awesome Stay

We had our bi annual family reunion this past week with a total of 22 adults and teens. The house was very spacious in all the bedrooms and public spaces. The pool and dock were just as nice as they look in the pictures. The owner stopped by to check the trash and cleaned the pool for us after a storm blew through and the pool guy wasn’t available. We have rented several lake homes over the last 12 years and this is one of the best.

Great property for a sales retreat or multi-family getaway! The house is beautiful and has plenty of space. Only negative is how you can hear people walking around easily when in bed at night bc everything is wood.

Great house for everything

We had a wonderful stay and were very pleased with ease of rental and communication with owner and staff. The house was equipped with everything we needed for a comfortable stay. We rented the boat, which wasn’t the best for tubing, but the kids still enjoyed it. I think there is or will be a faster boat available for tubing, that is excellent! I would go back to this house anytime!!

Great reunion site

A family reunion ages 1 to 80. Great house, nicely spread out over 3 floors. The pool/hot tub was great but a little tricky to operate. Having the boat club boats right at our dock was awesome. They delivered early and picked up late. Host was very accommodating. I will definitely book this property again.

Best family reunion ever!!!!

We rented two pontoon boats provided at the dock for 3 days. Kids LOVED being on the water. Home is beautiful, well equipped, and gave us a lot of room to spread out as well as great places to congregate. Steve was very helpful and supportive (quick response to questions by text), amazing kitchen, lots of fridge space(s), pool table, excellent location close to grocery store as well. Highly recommend!! Not a place for wild parties since there are close neighbors. We were all worn out and in bed before 10. Would definitely consider going back again. We had 17 adults and 6 kids. Only with a 10 star rating was possible...

Great house, but rent with caution

First the good. The house is beautiful and logistically everything was great up front. The owner even invited us up to the property the weekend before our rental to show us around the house and took us out on the boat we were renting to help familiarize us with the vessel and the lake. The house has plenty of space, is immaculately kept, and you really just have to show up with food, drinks, and swimsuits. Everything else is there. It was once our rental started that things got weird. We spoke with the owner in advance and were well aware of the requests to keep noise down, especially after 10pm, which was clearly stated in the rental agreement and also placed on signs in several locations throughout the house. The homeowner has decibel meters set up around the property and gets mobile alerts when noise goes above a certain level. On more than one occasion, we got phone calls from the owner saying his meter was spiking. In all instances, any music that was playing was at an extremely reasonable volume and in one case at just after 9:30pm, there was literally no music outside at all and everyone was indoors. The owner also showed up to the house several times during our rental and on one occasion did an unannounced walk-through of the house...with all of our guests there! We could not control the hot tub directly and had to text the owner to have the hot tub turned on, which then takes about 30 mins to heat up. While hanging out waiting for the hot tub to heat up, there was a car next door with its lights on pointed directly at us for over an hour. After contacting the owner about it, it was stated that one of the neighbor's guests had accidentally left their lights on in the car. The general sentiment of our guests by this point was that we were being watched and it was an extremely uncomfortable feeling. As objective as a participating party can be, I can confidently say that our group was not loud, obnoxious, or disrespectful in any way. However, we were micromanaged by the owner the entire weekend and frankly didn't feel welcome. So in summary, the property is beautiful and the owner is honestly a very nice person, but if you're planning to do anything outdoors other than lay silently by the pool with a book or quietly wade in the shallow end of the pool, this may not be the house for you.

Executive Retreat

Amazing. Truly one of the best VRBOs I've ever rented. The house was perfect for our retreat - so many bedrooms and even more bathrooms. The location was great. The decor is easy and relaxing. Several spots for meetings- upstairs, downstairs, and outside. Chef Stacy was terrific, Laura taught us an amazing yoga class and provided a great healthy brunch, and Andy's boat ride was fun (As was dinner at the Twisted Oar). I highly recommend this property and we plan to use again. Thank you so much for making the week super easy and very productive.
