Barbara's home is eclectic and spacious, and perfect for families. We were a group of ten including five children with ages ranging from 2-7, and we really appreciated the children's games, art supplies, and even a big outdoor trampoline! The location is just a short walk to the lake with a lovely beach, restaurant, ice cream, paddle boards for rent, etc. The hosts could not have been more lovely and hospitable. We did have a couple of issues worth mentioning. The loft sleeping arrangement in the downstairs bedroom was challenging for us. The ladders are steep, the ceiling is right above the beds, and those of us who slept in the lofts didn't sleep very well. I think 6 to 8 people could comfortably sleep in the house without needing to use the loft beds. It's also important to note that Barbara has four cats. We had explained that two people in our group have cat allergies and it was understood that the cats would stay outside during our stay, but the cats are accustomed to coming inside most of the time and it was impossible to keep them out (especially given the cat door, which did not have a cover). The cats were all so sweet and we felt terrible having to repeatedly kick them out of their own home, but given their presence and all the cat hair and dander my husband had a very hard time with his allergies while staying there. For anyone with cat allergies I'd recommend finding different accommodations, but for everyone else I'd highly recommend staying in Barbara's home.
