Highly recommend for families!
This place was perfect for our family gathering! Our group included 2 families (including 7 kids ranging in age from 0-14) and a grandmother. Everyone had a blast! The older kids (even the teens!) loved fishing off the dock (it's such great fishing) and the kayak and paddleboard were wonderful to have! The home is pretty well stocked with dishes, clean, nice and spacious (the master is awesome with a great view - the 3 queen bedrooms are small but sufficient). There is fire wood available for the fire pit that sits overlooking the dock and the water! The bonus/game room above the garage would be perfect for a rainy day. Cute bait shop just down the road. Highly recommend!

Great place for a weekend away
House was great and spacious. Could’ve been a little cleaner, but not awful. Would recommend supplying a little more cleaning supplies just under the kitchen sink to allow other guests to clean up while staying… Clorox wipes, a vacuum that works, extra hand towels ….all would’ve been great. Beds were comfortable and plenty of room for everyone. The garage and games were an awesome bonus and the paddle boards and kayaks were a hit! But you do have to walk about a 100 yards through the water/weeds if you want to be out in the lake!

Christmas Time Together
The property itself was awesome! We loved the space! We enjoyed both the house and the game room and also enjoyed the outdoor space! The process to check in was easy but asked a few questions that never got answered. It was a snow storm and the driveway was cleared before we got there and checked a couple times while we were there! Okay onto our cons: if you offer hide a beds and blow up beds. I feel that sheets, blankets and pillows should be offered. And that the blow up bed should hold air (even for a 2 year old). It had a hole in it and was sticky! Bathrooms all had a partial roll of toilet paper. We reserved for 8 adults and 6 babies. We would have brought toilet paper if we had known. Instead we had to go buy some. Also there weren't any hand towels for the bathrooms! If we had known we would have brought some. Made a Christmas meal that entailed mashed potatoes. The hand mixer didn't work. All in all. We loved our time. Just needed a few things that we are used to at all other places that we have stayed.

A great vacation home for a big group!
We had a group of 13 people, 5 kids and 8 adults... it was nice to have a space that was big enough for all of us! We really enjoyed having the game space above the garage, especially after the kids went to bed so we didn't have to stay super quiet. We were surprised by the lack of sandy space on the shoreline as shown in the photos. The water was high and so were the weeds so our kids didn't get an opportunity to swim in that area. But the availability of kayaks and the paddleboard along with fishing equipment was a nice perk to have! The host was very communicative and helpful! Overall, we recommend this place if you're looking for a nice escape with beautiful views.

Awesome stay
Edgewater Escape is a wonderful large lakeside home that has everything our family needed for our vacation. We were able to put our boat, pontoon and jet skis in the lake right at the beach in front of the house. The house was extremely well stocked with lots of extra garbage bags, toilet paper, all the kitchen gear that we needed. Washer and drier worked great. Our whole family (ages 11-82) enjoyed our stay!

Memorial Weekend 2022
Our family of 11 adults, 2 children and some pups had a wonderful time at Edgewater Escape. The Owner was very helpful when we (the older generation) had trouble navigating the Direct TV, he took all the time needed and held our hands to get things up and running. There are enough TV's that everyone in our party could manage their own programs. There was plenty of room for all of us at all times. The kitchen is perfect for a large size group with ample serving space with the huge center island. The game room was super fun with its own space including a deck overlooking the lake. The fire pit was put to good use and it was fun to see all of the night time fires from across the lake. The wild life was fantastic, eagles, loons, beaver, fox, muskrat and more. We had great fishing, mostly northern pike. Thank you Edgewater Escape, we will be back again.

Wonderful Family Weekend!!!
My family and I had such a wonderful time at the Edgewater Escape! The hosts and homeowner were kind and quick to answer any questions I had. The place itself was clean and was a perfect size for 14 people! The home was beautiful and we loved the open concept all throughout the main floor. The recreation room was phenomenal and we spent a good chunk of our weekend in there. Lastly, the view...the view with the lake was amazing. Can't recommend this home enough! Thank you for hosting us, we all had a wonderful time!
