Family Vacation a Huge Success! 5/5 Stayed Jul 2022
Blaine C. Marysville, OH
Grandparents, adult kids, and their young children (7, 4, 1) all had great fun staying and playing at this extra nice home on Cable Lake. We especially enjoyed using the peddle boat and green kayaks on the no wake lake! It was very safe for our children, and the shallow water at the beach was perfect for water play and swimming for our 7 year old! The two tier beach is exceptional and lends itself to fun sand play...a new sand creation imagined every day! We noticed that most of the lake did not have a shallow access for play in the water, so we were very thankful we chose this property!
The owner is careful about keeping the property in good repair, and the kitchen is unusually well equipped. We had terrific times gathered about the beautiful dining table for family meals. The neighborhood is also nice for taking family walks, and we enjoyed visiting the Driftwood Ice Cream shop one evening!
We were surprised by the visit of a very large turtle one morning (apparently it had crawled up on the top level of the sand beach, rolled down the embankment, and got stuck on its back near the water's edge). A rescue to flip the turtle safely over onto its tummy was successful, and it swam away in the flash, much to our delight! We also saw numerous turtle heads poking out of the water at various times, and we enjoyed the water lilies that were blooming!
It is a peaceful place to stay (even during the week of July 4th!).
The beds are comfortable, and the bedding is unusually soft, while the bedrooms are nicely decorated. We also enjoyed the artwork on many of the walls. The photos reflected what we found upon arrival. In addition, the owner has installed a generator so that there is power if the electricity goes out. We've had personal experience with this happening during a previous vacation (4 days without power), so it was nice to know there is a back up plan for electricity in the event of a storm.
If you have a 1 year old, you might consider moving the tan, rectangular plush stool from the lower level up to the family room (use it to block the stairway, as baby gates do not work with the railing). This worked really well for us, and kept everybody safe.
There is much more that I could say about this property! We enjoyed games around the coffee table, and read wonderful stories to the kids both upstairs and downstairs, as the furniture is very comfortable for doing that kind of thing! Since we love to read, this was really nice! Thanks
