We spent 8 nights at the Echo Lake House, and enjoyed every minute. We had 27 people there, ranging from 1 year up to 64. The property was large and had many separate areas for playing games, doing puzzles, watching movies, playing lawn games as well as volleyball, basketball, four square, etc...
Inside, the main area was large and we could enjoy sitting and talking undisturbed while multiple kids in the basement played air hockey, pool, football and pingpong, and others were watching movies in the theater room.
The kitchen was well equipped with a commercial dishwasher (only took 2 minutes to run a load!), two sinks, two disposals, a large refrigerator both upstairs and down, loads of seating for dining and games. Lots of dishes, glasses, mugs, silverware and baking pans, etc...
The property has a huge trash container, which makes the trash situation a non-issue.
Lots of closets to store individual family supplies.
The rooms on the ground floor and second floor each had their own air conditioner, which was luxurious. The basement bedrooms were a bit warmer, and we never could figure out the air conditioner down there. (we didn't ask the owner about this...)
Echo lake facilities were under construction, but there was a lake 20 minutes away where we went there a few times to play. Directly behind the property is a great bike path, and we took several bike treks on it. Directly in front of the house is a busy road, but the property is fenced all around it for safety, and we NEVER heard road noise with the house closed up, which was nice.
This is an excellent rental property with a helpful host who was available to answer questions.
We went in June, and I'd also love to go in winter, with snow!
Please consider this amazing rental property for your group. We had a blast with our reunion and look forward to going again!
