Values Statement:
We feel extremely blessed by God to have the opportunity to share this home with you. We (two brothers and a cousin) grew up vacationing at the lake every summer with our families. The memories we made during those amazing 7 days each year played a large part in our lives and the strong and lasting relationships we formed with our cousins, aunts, uncles, and grandparents. The fact that none of this could have been possible for us without the willingness of families around the lake to open their homes to us back then inspired us to put the work into creating the best sort of place for you and yours to make your own lasting memories.
We look forward to hosting you!

Nice big house & lakeside

This house is very nice for a large family. In the winter time, the game room/garage was a bit COLD to enjoy, but on the summer time, I’m sure it would be a hit along with the downstairs TV room. Sure wish there was a shower in the basement along with the 1/2 bath. I’m not sure I would consider the basement bunk room a bedroom, since it’s more like bunks in a closet, but there’s lots of space for large families. We did not utilize the basement as we did not need the additional beds, but for a bunch of teens, it would be good. There is plenty of dining space in the dining room; nice kitchen with just about everything you would need to do all your cooking (we wish there was a Keurig coffee machine). Theres a great gas grill on the patio along with plenty of eating space as well. The yard area is great. The primary bedroom on the main floor is very nice sized along with an attached bathroom (wish there had been some hooks on the wall for wet towels/clothes, etc.), but otherwise was very nice. It was very nice there were 2 additional king size beds upstairs for add’l parents traveling. Checkin process was great along with all communication. The only downside we encountered, was the steep driveway (in the winter it could be very slippery and hard to get up/down with snow or ice); we just weren’t prepared for that, but it shouldn’t be much of a problem in the summer. We had a great stay and did not run into any issues with the home. We would definitely stay here again.

Winter Family Getaway

We rented the house to host “Camp Cousin”. The kids all enjoyed the house especially the game room and Xbox 360. They also played the ultimate game of hide and seek! We loved having a table large enough to all eat together. Beds were comfortable and there were plenty of blankets and pillows.

Christmas gift stay

Needs some attention to furniture as some is broken or not functional. Dryer didn’t work at all. Space was great for our large family. Kids loved the recreation room. Located near all the things we wanted to do. Clean and neat.

Glens Gang Retreat

First off, we would definitely return. Just a few items that we would suggest for the future. The kitchen is nice, except there's really no counter space, also a couple of the outlets didn't work. We had to put the coffee maker on the floor to make coffee. The Natural Gas grill was a disaster, looked like it had not been cleaned in a long time. I cleaned it the best that I could, and had to let it burn for an hour to get the smell and smoke to go away. The rules are confusing, the rules on the wall in the kitchen tell you to put the bedding in the Laundry, the rules in each room tell you to put them at the end of the bed. There were very few wash cloths, also, I get it that the towels are a convenience, but how are you supposed to have eight adults pack to leave, shower, then wash, dry, fold and put away the towels before check out at 10?

Grandpa's 70 Birthday

Oh, the memories that were made. This was our first all inclusive vacation as a family. We took our pontoon for fishing and boating fun. The children swam fished, played football and enjoyed the kayaks provided. The home was spacious and well equipped. On Saturday we divided into groups of Pokagon hikers (6 and 10 miles), swimmers, fishermen and children watchers. Campfire in the evening. We are still talking about the wonder of watching the children on the deck and out in the water. We LOVED it!!!

Family vacation

We had a fantastic time! Would love to stay here again. Plenty of room for our family of 11. The game room/garage was great on the rainy days. Love the large dinning table. There was room for everyone to sit together. The dock was perfect and convenient for our pontoon. Thanks so much for letting us stay in your beautiful home.

Graduation weekend

We chose this property for our son’s graduation weekend. It was beautifully located on Lake James within walking distance of Tom’s donuts and several restaurants and an easy drive to the University. The home itself was spacious, comfortable and perfect for a large family. We grilled, played games in the well furnished garage, and used the fire pit. We could not have asked for better accommodations!

Winter Getaway

We stayed at this house for two nights. Our group considered of 8 adults, 2 teenagers, and 2 children. The house was definitely large enough for everyone. Plenty of beds. I was able to negotiate an earlier check in which was nice. When we arrived there had been a larger snow accumulation and it was clear no cleaning lady or property manager had been there in many days as we had to shovel the entire extremely steep driveway, not exactly something we were prepared to do on vacation. The house has an impressive gameroom in the garage with a space heater but many of the activities need attention. The pool table leans and the hook game on the wall was severely off. There was a basement with a TV/game system but no way to turn it on/use it which was frustrating to the kids. The house also has well water which is not necessarily a bad thing but I wish we would have brought a lot more drinking water. The fridge and shower in the master had many dirty spots. In summary, the house met our basic needs for a large group but we can't help but say we were expecting a little more in accommodations and less work cleaning up before we leave too (they request for their guests to do laundry).

Excellent!

This is the 2nd time we’ve stayed at this property and we’ve always had the best time! The two fridges are a lifesaver and the garage that is turned into a rec room is genius! Not a lot of lake properties have a level yard to play yard games and hang out so that was a big plus for us. The owners and property manager are always so kind and easy to communicate with which makes checking in and out a breeze! Our friends and family loved the place too and we will definitely be staying here again! Thank you for a great vacation weekend!
