We loved our week-long stay with 4 adults and 2 tweens and new puppy. They loved playing in the water, the sandbar out a ways is just awesome! And the canoe and kayak were enjoyed by all. For years, we'd been staying at a small rustic cabin, which was sorta like camping with a roof and plumbing. This place is a huge step up in functionality and space, without pouring over into 'luxury,' which is exactly what we were looking for. There are large enough gathering areas to be all together, and also enough space for people to break off and be alone for awhile to read or relax or whatever.
The gazebo was critical on the hot days and a lovely place to hang out on the cooler days. Same for the 2-story porch!
Kangaroo lake is such a calm place, and having it footsteps away from your door with no stairs up or down is also a huge plus for anyone with aging joints.
Plenty of space for family meals. The fridge and freezer easily held our week's worth of food, and it's already well-stocked with the utensils, plates, and cookware that you might need. Also, the dishwasher is awesome for dealing with the constant dirty dishes - we used to eat out a lot when visiting, but with our new dog, we ate almost all of our meals here, and it felt like 'home,' by the end of the week.
The wind kept the mosquitos at bay most of the time, which was impressive, and the sunrise views across the lake are epic. We enjoyed a fire each night, either inside with the fireplace, or out at the lakeside firepit.
We'll be back!
