Loved the lakes!

Great stay overall! We loved the option of exploring both lakes and our son caught fish at both locations. We did lots of swimming and kayaking in the big lake and the water was warm. Beautiful deck and fire pit area too. Although the mosquiitos were thick outside once we started the fire at night they didn't both us and we were able to enjoy smores and campfire time. Just a heads up there is a decent amount of walking to both lakes, including steps and slopes. Overall a great house and location!

Highly Recommend

A great range of activities, both indoors and outdoors. The secluded private lake was especially enjoyable for fishing and wildlife viewing. It felt like we were at a remote Canadian lake. The kids enjoyed fishing, swimming, and kayaking in Lake Chetac. Very comfortable beds and spacious layout. Good all-around vacation spot that reminded me of my childhood trips up north.

Family time

The house was very clean and fully stocked. We were very impressed with everything that was included with the rental. It was a long walk to both of the lakes, but once we got there it was great. It was a good house for a large group, plenty of beds as well as extra bedding. The basement did get cool , even with the air off, but we just added another blanket at night!

Family Time

Overall, it worked well for our family. We loved the huge kitchen table. This was one of the few times our family gathering (11 people) could accommodate everyone at one time to eat and play games. We enjoyed the variety of games in the basement (air hockey, ping-pong, etc). We didn't realize that there isn't any beach access by either of the docks, so our kids didn't want to swim where they couldn't easily touch. Fishing off the dock on the big lake was fruitful. Although it was a bit tricky to get the canoes and kayaks down to the waterfront and back up on the racks, we did enjoy paddling around.

We had a great time.

There are plenty of different activities to keep everyone happy. From the sauna, to the games and tv's for indoor activities. Then outdoors you have 2 lakes to choose from. There were a ton of mosquitoes and horse flies, but it has been an extremely rainy year. Thankfully we had almost no rain for our entire stay and were able to enjoy both lakes. The road between the lake and the house was busier than expected for such a remote area. It is not a problem crossing to go to the lake, it helps if you listen to make sure there is not a car coming around the corner. We brought our bikes thinking we'd bike around on the country roads, but we didn't feel like it would have been safe on a narrow winding highway with no shoulders. Plenty of water activities and equipment to use. The rear lake is surrounded by a bog, it is pretty cool, but only the daring would probably want to try swimming in it. There is also a beaver den right by the dock and we regularly saw beavers. Thanks for letting us rent this place, we had a great time.

The cabin was really spacious and the basement was a hit with the whole family! Jon was a great host and quick to answer all our questions. We hope to come back when the lake isn’t frozen but we still had a great time snow shoeing the ice age trail. It was perfect!
