Great weekend friend trip

Me and my friends stayed here for 3 nights and loved the house. The easy access to the lake was great. The pontoon boat available to rent is well worth the money as it is a very nice and newer boat. House was clean and much larger than it looks in the photos. Will definitely consider staying here again for our next lakehouse trip!

Super accommodations!!

This was probably the best house I have rented. There were plenty of beds and rooms. The kitchen was stocked amazingly! We cooked all our meals-including a Thanksgiving dinner! The bathrooms had all the things you may have forgotten to bring. The dock was fun to fish from. Just a super wonderful house. The hosts were very responsive with all my questions, and information I didn’t know I needed! Highly recommended!!

AGD Reunion

This property had everything we could ever need and much more. The hosts were incredibly generous with extras in the kitchen, bathrooms, bedrooms, etc. There is so much space inside and out that our large group had plenty of room to gather together or break off on our own. And we would highly recommend renting the pontoon boat. What a great way to spend the day. We will definitely be back again!

Wonderful house

This is our second year in a row staying at the lake house for our annual girls trip. Group of 13 women mid 30s to mid 40s. We love this house. We love working with the owners. They provide so much more than any rental we’ve ever stayed at has. Highly recommend this house for your next large gathering.

No complaints. Fantastic place.

This was our second time at this property. It was clean, amenities were plentiful, and we had a great time. I cannot recommend this listing enough. It was perfect for a large group with children. Communication with the hosts is always great as well. All in all, another 10/10 stay.

About the host

Hosted by Ken and Wendy Maslana

Host profile image
My Wife, Wendy, and I live in central Illinois and decided to purchase this property so we could enjoy the lake with our families. We love spending time on the water, fishing, boating, skiing and tubing. We also love BBQ and relaxing outdoors. We love to spend time with our family and friends and encourage others to do the same. Which made the decision to extend this amazing opportunity to others and easy one to make!
