We had a blast at the place! The open living space was perfect for us. There were two big tables, and the game room and basement were a hit with the kids. The views of the lake were breathtaking. The lake appeared to be frozen. Sunrises and sunsets were spectacular on the frozen lake!My kids loved having a TV in each room - I think there were seven of them! We didn’t spend much time on the deck since it was winter, but I can totally picture it being a great spot in the summer. The upstairs had central heat, and we kept it around 67-68 degrees, which was comfortable for us. The heater didn’t have to work too hard, which was a plus. The basement was a bit cooler, but there were electric heaters that kept it cozy for sleeping. You have to go through the garage to get to the basement, and it was a bit chilly in there, but it wasn’t a big deal. It worked out well because one family slept downstairs, and our family upstairs, so we had more privacy. It felt like we had two separate places. There’s a market next door, and it was super convenient to grab a bottle of wine or ice cream for us or hot cocoa for the kids. Meijer is just a short drive away for groceries. We found all the kitchen appliances easy to use, and it was great for preparing family meals. There was coffee and a coffee maker, which was perfect for us. The smaller fridge/wine cooler was nice to have because it left space in the main refrigerator for our food. We really enjoyed our stay!
