Knotty Pines by AvantStay

We had a wonderful family vacation and appreciated the chance to spend quality time together in this spacious home! The location on a quiet cove is peaceful and scenic, and we loved using the dock, kayak, and stand-up paddle boards. The large dining tables were perfect for family meals, the living room provided plenty of comfortable seating, and the ping pong table added to our fun. The two kitchens had ample space, making cooking for a large group much easier.That said, there were some challenges to be aware of: the HVAC system was not working when we arrived and it was extremely hot. The management company was very responsive and brought over temporary window units but temperature regulation throughout the three floors was still difficult. The advertised beach was unfortunately not usable due to fallen trees and logs, which was disappointing as we had hoped for easy water access. The electrical wiring in the kitchen is also problematic—you can’t run the microwave and toaster at the same time without tripping the fuse, and a maintenance person must reset it. Finally, the afternoon sun blazes through the large living room window onto the deck, and there are no blinds to provide shade.Overall, this is a great house for a large family gathering and has many enjoyable features. Even though it feels a bit “in rental condition” the management company was extremely responsive.

We had 14 people, ages 15-85, on a family vacation at this home. The main living areas were spacious for everyone to enjoy and gather. The lower level was great for the young adults to have their own area for ping-pong and hanging out.The cove was quiet - we have stayed in other places on the lake where there are houses all around the cove, but this spot is not developed on one side so it was especially quiet. Property managers were great about communicating. When we arrived, there was only 1 SUP although the photos showed 2, and they delivered us a 2nd one the next morning to make sure we received what was listed.

Was impressed with the facility and the quality from silverware to bedding. We had 13 people counting one child 11/2. Cooked out Saturday night and it was so nice that it accommodated all very easily. Young men enjoyed the paddle boards also.

This house perfect for a big group. Lots of space inside and out.

Great location but some of the renovations require attention.
