Summary: This was the perfect place for our adult children to stay while on Washington island for our son’s wedding. Lots of space and very well equipped kitchen. Pictures don’t even do it justice!! We had a 10/10 experience!
Jennifer N. Aug 21, 2022 11:01:24 AM
Summary: Our family came together to celebrate our parents' 50th wedding anniversary. We had a lovely time swimming, kayaking, and paddle boarding off the dock. At night we gathered around the large table and played games for hours, just enjoying each other's company. During the day we biked, and ate at various island restaurants. We also loved our day excursion to Rock Island! We thoroughly enjoyed our week celebraring and making memories in this idyllic home. ❤️

Bailey K. Aug 17, 2021 06:00:38 AM
Summary: We had the best time here. The house and property are gorgeous, but the best thing was the beach! It’s shallow, clear and beautiful. Perfect for the little ones in our group! We didn’t have to worry too much about them because it doesn’t get deep until pretty far out! Wonderful stay and quick responses from the owners if we needed anything! We hope to return next year!

Summary: Stunning setting. When we drove in, there was not a single leaf on the driveway. The home and amenities are impeccable.
GARY S. Jul 27, 2020 09:04:04 PM
Summary: Was spacious enough for 9 adults and 8 kids. Dock and jet ski lift were great. Was isolated enough but close enough to things. Great for biking and hiking. Once on the island spotty cell and data service.
Samuel H. Jul 22, 2020 11:49:22 PM
Summary: What a perfect home for our group of 15. Comfy beds and pillows, games and movies, and a wonderful screened porch for rest and conversation. Just over a mile from the county park with a sand beach. The kids loved the water and waves. No air conditioning was no problem with the fans and a nice breeze coming through the windows at night. Thanks for making your home available!
