A majority of our group was late teens and young adults. The downstairs was perfect for them. Leaving the upstairs for us older ones. There is a lot of outdoor space. There is no dining upstairs, but two tables on the deck off the upstairs. We put a fan on the deck and enjoyed our meals there. The house is down a short bit of gravel. While there we saw deer, squirrels, several types of birds and a chipmunk. We took the advice of another reviewer and rented a Pontoon from Frankie and Louies. They do not rent tubes, so be prepared if you don’t have your own. Our only complaint is when we arrived, there was quite a bit of stuff in the freezer/refrigerator. We were staying four nights and brought groceries when we arrived. It did make it tight getting everything put away. We also come home with several ticks on us. These could have come from anywhere and it does not reflect on the house, just making others aware. Two of our family members have Alph Gal Syndrome so ticks scare us. Overall we had a great stay. If you are like us and want to spend most of your time outdoors, this house is perfect.
