An ideal family vacation
The comfortable and gracious home and its tranquil setting on the lake provided the perfect location for the annual summer reunion of our far-flung family of three generations. We have been to many nice places in various parts of the country over the past dozen years or so, but this was the best.
The house was lovely and roomy. The bedrooms for three adult couples were comfortable, especially the master bedroom which included a long bathtub with waterjets as well as a large walk-in shower. The room with bunkbeds for the grandkids included two large regular beds for the older ones.
The kitchen was well equipped and because the weather was so good, we ate all of our meals at the long table on the deck facing the lake that comfortably seated the 11 of us.
The lake felt very serene—there were no houses on the other side of the lake and quiet, with relatively few motor boats passing at a distance. And there were no bugs.
We spent a lot of time on the dock, where the two young grandsons (8 and 10) learned to use a spinning rod and caught several sunfish and a bass. They and the others used the dock for sunbathing and then swimming. The water was clear, refreshingly cool, but not cold. The kayaks and canoe were a real plus, especially for a quiet paddle in the morning mist that we had for a couple days. We rented the Boston Whaler, which seats 7, and a big tube that we towed for the kids to ride.
We also used the motor boat for fishing; trolling as well as casting.
