Located in the Blakeslee community, a prestigious community because of its quiet, serene setting, and the numerous amenities available.

Walk or bike to the dock in a few minutes (the home is closer to the lake than what VRBO says!!!)...boat rentals are available at Bill's Marina. The community is fairly level and arranged in a circular (1.6 miles) fashion which makes it perfect for biking, jogging or just an afternoon stroll. In addition, there are 5 miles of hiking trails within the community, as well as trails for snowmobiles and ATV's. Deer, wild turkeys and other wildlife are often seen in the fields by the entrance to the community. The indoor 25' x 50' pool is located in the Community Center (closed on Tuesdays and Wednesdays and open Thursdays and Fridays from Noon to 8PM, and Saturdays, Sundays and Mondays from 10AM - 6PM) and includes a large club room with TV, comfortable chairs, tables and chairs and pool table. Two tennis courts and two pickle-ball courts, basketball court, soccer field and outdoor playground are all adjacent to the community center. The Community Center is literally across the street from the end of our driveway!!!

Oakland - There is a nice blend of retail businesses and services including antiques, high quality men and women’s clothing, locally owned full service pharmacies and even an old-fashioned soda fountain. There you can order a milk shake made the old fashioned way!

Summary: The house was incredibly comfortable and clean. The kitchen had everything we needed to cook our own meals. We loved the outdoor covered patio as it was a great place to hang out together every morning. A family of deer, a red-headed woodpecker, and two hummingbirds kept us entertained. We made good use of the downstairs pool table, and tennis and pickleball courts right across the street past an available soccer field. Access to the community boat dock was an easy 5-10 minute walk down the street. The beds were comfortable, and the house had plenty of space for 8 adults. The theater "room", which we also used, is part of the basement area downstairs with the pool and foosball tables, but it works well. Sean and Cindy were very responsive and care about their home. We'll definitely consider coming back next year.
