Summary: The Roost was perfect for our family gathering! Our daughter was getting married, and we were hosting family at the cabins. Everyone had their own space with the individual cabins. The main cabin is very spacious and has everything you need. The three smaller cabins are adorable and it allowed everyone to have their own space. We all enjoyed the fire pit, that was our favorite place to just sit and enjoy the beautiful lake. The kids enjoyed the game room and shuffleboard, plenty for them to keep entertained. The hosts were wonderful and very accommodating, it really is the perfect setting for a family vacation.
