The house was DIVINE and Joan is an awesome host.
She thought of everything and had clear, easily available directions for every element of the house.We arrived to two bags of gifts of everything from shampoo to sunburn care, as was as dish soap and laundry detergent (and a special extra treat).
The house is modern and well decorated with amazing views to enjoy all day. There are so many nooks and crannies to sit in during the day and a tv per person at night: extravagant! As advertised, the downstairs area was perfect for our teen kids, where they played games to their hearts' content at night and their noise didn't bother us upstairs! The kitchen is well stocked with every plate and serving dish you need, extra spices and plastic bags. It could not be easier.
The lake is pristine and is warm and inviting either for a day "at home" or after an outing. We enjoyed the kayaks on the lake several times but didn't even get to the larger parts which are available to explore.
There are two fire pits, a wonderful hammock, comfy chairs and a dock.
The lake is rocky bottomed, so water shoes with traction are advised. Once you get in you won't want to get out.
Overall a wonderful experience we would easily consider repeating.
