2012 in Review

It was a busy year last year and the house was booked with vacation renters at least half of the time which afforded us the opportunity to enjoy the property ourselves and invite friends and family to the lake over Memorial weekend. We were blessed with perfect weather! Over the last several months I added new pots and pans, baking dishes, rugs, lawn furniture, an ipod speaker dock, and curtains for the Master Bed Room while Chris added another flat screen t.v. with Sateillite and brought out our large stainless steel gas grill. He's been looking for a ping pong table or something along that line for the basement along with a new pontoon that could be rented in addition for our guests. I welcome guest feedback and as a result, started labeling the light switches so it was less confusing for guests. The original owner before us built the home and did his own electrical work ;) This Christmas we had our tree set up in the basement and lit garland on the main stair case. I had extra green and created a beautiful urn arrangement for the front door too so it was ready for our holiday guests. I picked up some additional holiday decor after Christmas and am already looking forward to decorating the house next year! The house continues to be a labor of love for us and we are gearing up for spending time on the lake ice fishing and skating now that we are less busy.

" We found this Prior Lake home to be ideal for our large family Christmas gathering. It was very spacious for our family of 6 adults and 5 children ( ages 1 to 5 ) so we never felt crowded! The two levels allowed us to use the lower level for children's games without worrying about disturbing meal preparation or conversations on the upper level. The view is fantastic!! Everyone watched the ice fishing, skating, and motorized vehicles on the lake. Most everyone took the opportunity to go for a walk on the ice which was really enjoyed by the little ones! There were plenty of bedrooms and bathrooms for a very enjoyable vacation! The grocery store was very convenient - we made many trips for our last minute decisions about what to prepare in this great kitchen! We highly recommend this home for a large gathering!"
