Terrific location for family vacation

Our family of 9 adults and 9 kids enjoyed a lovely week at this beautiful property. The house and the property are well kept and perfect with many bedrooms. Our family mostly spent each day fishing and swimming, the beach front is exceptionally nice for our big group. The property manager, Amos is the best, so helpful if you have a question.

Perfect for family getaways!

This was our first time at the Burgen Lake property and it did not disappoint. We spent our days on the dock, in the boat and around the living room. The property allowed family from all corners of the country to reconnect, unplug and have a great Labor Day weekend. Michele and her property management team were responsive, helpful and polite. We hope to come back next summer!

great family outing

The house and the location were perfect for us. We enjoyed the water even though the weather was not as warm as we would have liked. There were many little things that were so nice - prepasted toothbrushes, baking supplies, and hillbilly tupperware containers for leftovers- we had a wonderful time and would love to return.

The best vacation property for the entire family

Our family ranged in ages from 2-13. The kids loved the water trampoline, playing in the sand, volleyball games, fishing off the dock, paddle boating and all the activities inside. The adults loved that all the kids were busy and happy. Thanks again for our 4th annual family reunion. Looking forward to 2025.

Great house for family vacation

This is our second time renting this property for our family vacation (8 adults, 7 children 1yr-9). The house is big enough for everyone to have their own space, when they need a break from the chaos 😜. Having use of the pontoon is a real plus. The owners of the home were always quick to respond to any questions we had. Hoping to rent again soon!

Great place for a large group

We were in town for a wedding and needed space for three families with kids ranging in age from 1-17. The Lake House was the perfect fit - both in size and location. There were plenty of bedrooms to allow for spreading out, each family had their own bathroom, and the gathering spaces were never too crowded. Communication with the host was great and we appreciated the flexible check-in and out times.

Perfect location

This property was perfect for our family vacation. The long stretch of sandy beach kept the kids, all under 5, entertained and busy. They had so much fun. The pontoon was great and we had several fun rides. The kitchen is stocked with everything we needed to prepare our meals and there are plenty of dishes. Michele was always very prompt in answering questions. We also appreciated how close we were to Alexandria.
