Summary: Property is beautiful. Very nice lodging. Grounds are well groomed. The lodge and huge screen porch are so nice for family gathering and fun. We are a group of 20 and several small dogs and we all loved it. We had a great time even on the rainy days. Rent the pontoon from Matt. Going on the lake was a highlight for sure.

Summary: Matt's place is the perfect place to host a reunion. We enjoyed it all! The kitchen and gathering rooms were amazing to hang out together. The vast grounds allowed the little kids room to play. The lake was awesome for kayaks and fishing. We will definitely be back.

Summary: We had a group of 16 people with ages ranging from 21 months to 89 years young! They supply almost anything you can think of. A great location and property. We had a fabulous time and will be coming back. Everyone had enough space to roam around freely, sit at the lakeshore, play games, swim and fish. Highly recommend.

Summary: Side Lake property checked many of the boxes that our family looks for in a vacation rental. We enjoyed all of the spaces. The cabins were roomy enough for all our families and came with many of the things that you would need. The kitchen and game area was a great asset to hang out in as a whole group. Being so close to McCarthy Beach was a lot of fun. We enjoyed some of the many UTV trails in the area. we were able to catch fish in the area lakes. Look forward to next year!!!

Summary: My brother rented this place for my mom, siblings and their families! We traveled all the way from Alaska for this and it did not disappoint! Wow! Where do I begin! So much fun and such a relaxing place to be! Matt and Cj are excellent hosts! The cabins and lodge are amazing:-) very clean. There is laundry on site for those who like to wash clothes while on vacation! We had so much fun on the pontoon and then going over to the beach to swim! The kids had a great time fishing from the dock also. Our nightly gatherings around the fire pit did not disappoint. The younger kids also had a playground, older kids played volleyball ect. I could go on and on. The lodge is great to get together to eat, play pool, ping pong, goose ball, or board games. Such an amazing place for large gatherings. Thank you so much Matt and Cj!

Summary: When we decided to vacation with our blended family of 17, this place became available and we quickly booked it. 4 cabins with 7 different bedrooms gave everyone a little privacy, while the lodge made it possible for us to gather together for meals and games. Matt and CJ were awsome hosts. Take the sunset cruise with them - we had a blast and they were generous with their time. The food CJ made for our sunset cruise was wonderful! The little ones enjoyed the small beach area. The adults enjoyed fishing off the dock and the kayaks and paddleboards. We were able to have a campfire every night with as much firewood as we wanted. The lodge kitchen was well stocked with anything we needed. Each cabin has a fairly well-stocked kitchen as well. Furinshings are comfortable enough. We could have found fun things to do onsite without every leaving the property. The beach at McCarthy Beach State Park, just 1/2 mile from the resort, is a great place to spend a warm day. Thanks for an awesome time, Matt and CJ!

Summary: What a perfect place for our large family to do all of the things we love! Thanks Matt!
Ann S. Jun 14, 2022 09:04:17 PM
