Summary: This was a wonderful home for the family to meetup at and spend a long weekend together. The spacious backyard, fire pit, and large dining table for playing games provided more than enough room for family activities. The best offering was the rentable pontoon boat where we could spend the day at will on Bristol Lake cruising, swimming, and tubing. The kids had a blast. Rob was a great host, easy to communicate with, and made sure we had everything we needed as well as gave us a short tour of the lake to make sure we were familiar with everything. The home was clean and comfortable, the area quiet and relaxing, and the lake was refreshing and serene.
