While it was only my husband and me this trip, this house would be perfect for a large family gathering. Two full baths and many beds, well stocked with necessities. Lots of games for the kids, two TVs, and a rocking’ internet connection.
The lake itself is beautiful and peaceful. Despite many houses, it felt like we were all alone most of the week. We didn’t catch a lot of fish as the lake was too high due to heavy rains in prior weeks. But we did catch some variety…a large mouth bass, a yellow perch, and a variety of pan fish. And rumor has it some monster carp, although we did not attempt that.
I was especially happy with the variety of birds to hear and observe…some I did not have on my lifetime list. A red-headed woodpecker, a warbling verio, a Baltimore oriole and a bluebird in addition to the usual robins, sparrows, wrens, and finches. We also had a gaggle of Canadian geese with many goslings…and a pair of herons who didn’t have much better luck with the fish than we did.
Charley and Robin are great hosts, quick to respond to any request. House was quite clean except for window sills which could use a quick vacuum. But that’s life on a lake, for you…a few bugs are a small price to pay for a lovely week at the lake.
