BLACK OAK is a 6 BEDROOM Lakefront Home that Sleeps up to 27!

Our group was a mixture of family from IL, WI, and AR with young and old. We all had a great time and there was plenty of space for everyone to spread out. The open kitchen, dinning, and living room was perfect for all of us to gather around to eat and catch up on everyone's busy life. Three suggestions for those with young kids and older adults: 1) older adults should take one of the three rooms on the first floor due to the stairs being a little steeper than most, 2) for the young children, bring something to block the stairway, 3) the driveway is steep, so it is best to either pull into the garage at an angle or let the older adults out right at the front sidewalk to front door.

We had a great stay. Unfortunately we were not advised of the steep driveway on the website. This would have been nice to know as we had several motorcycles and it was a nightmare trying to get them up and down the driveway and very unsafe. After reading some other reviews (after we had already booked the house) they also commented on the steep drive. this should be added into the description of the property along with an accurate picture of the drive to warn people ahead of time. The pictures depicting the pool table and pool were also a little deceiving as it appears they are actually at the house until you open the pictures individually - then they show these features to actually be at the community pool and not the actual house. The house itself was nice though and it was nice to have a stocked kitchen with all the utensils, etc. needed to cook for a large group

The house was large which is what we needed for our group. Kitchen has room for multiple people to do separate jobs. Loved the 2nd sink.

Beds were very nice and comfortable. Bathrooms were nice and had been updated

I didn't expect fancy furniture in a lake house. But the furniture was dirty and threadbare with holes. Pans in the kitchen had all the non stick peeling off and were unusable. Toaster didn't work.

So we threw sheets over the couches as slip covers.

Kids loved the foosball and ping pong table. The tv could use an update and the DVD player didn't work.

Had a great time. Swam off shore, rented a boat and took it easy.

The house on BlackmOaknwas very spacious. Everyone had room to spread out but the common rooms were large enough to accommodate our party of 12. Just a short walk and we were in the water and a short drive and we were ina boat! I must say this was one of our best family vacations!

The house was very clean and there was space for everyone. We had a plumbing issue during our stay and the owner responded immediately. You can't tell from the photo, but the driveway is incredibly steep. It is totally doable, but if you have mobility issues it is a problem. The furnishings are pretty worn, but everything was clean and functioning. Overall, we had a great time. Thanks for letting us use your house.
