Amazing Property
This is a truly amazing property which was ideal for our large family. There were activities for all of our multigenerational family - pool; outdoor kitchen and multiple decks; several fire-pits; playground with large sand play area, in-ground trampoline; rec building with gym, arcade games, video golf, putting green; lake that is well stocked with trophy fish and all fishing supplies provided, paddle boards, kayaks, fishing boat, paddle boat, life jackets; hiking trails; petting zoo area with goats and chickens; indoor pool room, foosball, card rooms, closets full of toddler toys and games. Our three adult children with their eight kids ranged in age from 17 to 4 months and they all found many activities to keep themselves entertained whether it was rainy or sunny. We will be back again!

Best place ever!
Jack and Lori were fabulous hosts. The listing didn’t come close to describing the wonderful setting, home, grounds and amenities! Our family, age 4-62, all had plenty of options for entertainment and activities. Toys, games, gaming systems, movies, pool toys, boats, fishing poles/equipment etc etc all over the top! The goats/chickens were fun to see and feed. The kitchen was well supplied. The rec center was an added bonus with virtual golf, pickle ball and lots of arcade games. And as promised by Jack, we did catch fish! And they weren’t small! Thanks for helping us make great memories with our sons/daughter in “loves” and grandsons!

Great place for Families
This place has something for everyone and was the most well stocked vacation rental we have ever had! Everything from baby needs to fishing gear was there. So much to do too! Even though it rained on us a few times there was plenty to keep everyone busy from the game room, the many toys for toddlers, the movie theater, kayaking, paddle boat, paddle board, fishing, and the rec building with arcade games, basketball, golf and more. The kids helped collect eggs every morning that we got to use, and pet the goats. And of course the swimming pool was a hit between the rains. There are plenty of beach towels and pool toys, and lots of life jackets for the lake. There is plenty of refrigerator and freezer space for your food and drinks. There was also baby equipment such as bassinet, pack n plays, activity bouncy seats, monitor and potty chairs if you need them. The outdoor seating area is great with a huge grill and counter area for fixing and eating meals poolside. This place is Amazing and we would love to go back!

Fun family get away.
This home is a lovely escape. It was better in person than the photos. We really enjoyed the lake, home, and the pool. The beds were extremely comfortable. The home had everything needed for our get away. Lots of extras. Home is well thought out for all ages. Host is avaliable if needed and owners were very accommodating. The lake is well maintained and the trails around it are beautiful. One may want water shoes for the lake area. Just any fyi for travelers...our phones didn’t work at the location. It ended up being postive. We spent more time playing and unplugged. There is internet so phone use is still possible. We are very happy! Hopefully, we can come again.

Perfect Property & Perfect Hosts
Thank you for sharing your property and your chickens and goats with us! The house is perfect as is the lake and pool area. The owners thought of every little detail to make our stay perfect. The beds are so comfortable, the pool is inviting, and the house is impeccably maintained and decorated by truly great people. We caught 100 fish over 3 days. My only fear is that you spoiled us so much you will be the standard by which all future VRBO stays will be judged and I know it is a bar they won't be able to reach. Thank you again for your hospitality! I wish I could give you 10000 stars instead of 5!

My family and I was there for 4 nights. We celebrated Thanksgiving, Hanukkah, and Christmas while we were there. The house has absolutely everything any family would need. If for some reason it doesn’t have it, the owners are easily reachable and will bring it immediately. Trying to figure out when we can go back already. Great house. Great property. Great owners.

A++ Stay!! Long weekend with Friends
Can't say enough fantastic things about our stay. We were a group of families with 7 adults and 8 kids ranging from 13-17. The hosts are wonderful and aim to make your stay as comfortable as possible. They have a fully stocked house with everything you could need. The numerous beach towels were amazing since we spent the majority of our stay on the super spacious pool deck and in the huge pool!. Another wonderful feature of the house is the numerous places to sit around the pool deck. We ate all our meals outside: at the bar counter or at the tables around the pool. It was wonderful to have so many seating options. Another huge perk of this house is the large refrigerator in the kitchen, but there is also a full size refrigerator in the basement for extra storage. In addition to that, there is a beverage refrigerator in the garage. If you rent "the REC" there is also an additional refrigerator in there as well. AMAZING! Obviously we didn't use them all, but it was nice to know that refrigerated space was available. Many times on our group trips we have to run and get ice for the coolers. So great not to have to worry about that. There is so much to do and so much space to do what ever you want! The space is just so great you will not be disappointed, the only disappointment you will have is that it is rented all the time and hard to return! Really cannot say enough positives about our stay. A vacation to remember! We will return! Thanks Jack and Lori!!

Eggstra special vacation!
Our days started at 8:00 a.m. when the little people in our group helped Mr. Jack gather the chicken and duck eggs and feed the goats. We had breakfasts each morning with the freshest eggs possible, right from the source! Then there were so many choices: swimming in the pool, fishing in the well-stocked lake, hiking, boating, playing video games in the shed, or just hanging out in the shade. The house was immaculate when we arrived, the kitchen was well stocked with pantry staples and plenty of cookware, and dishes were plentiful for our group. Rooms are large and well-appointed. The owner is great to work with and very accommodating to all our needs. Our family said this was there best vacation ever!

Wonderful stay for entire family! Everything about the owners, rental property and process was top notch. We have stayed at many properties both in the United States and abroad and this experience and property ranks with the very best. Don't be fooled by location. Property has everything you will ever need during your stay and is set in a peaceful country setting. If you do need anything, Springfield is twenty minutes away. During our second day of our five day stay, the entire family were already buzzing in my ear about making it a annual tradition.
