Our large family enjoyed getting together in this spacious house and exploring the area around Monmouth, as well as further afield. Lake Cochnewagon itself is beautiful. The property is clean and bright, with ample space for cooking and eating together, as well as playing together inside and out. The beds are all large (even the bunkbeds are doubles) and have very comfortable mattresses (a rarity in many rentals). There was plenty of room outside for volleyball and other games. We were able to put our kayaks in at the boat launch just up the road, and we swam at the Monmouth town beach as well as at some other local lakes. A highlight was a morning out on a pontoon boat on nearby Lake Cobbossee. We highly recommend the Monmouth Museum, which is a real gem with a terrific collection. The friendly docents there really bring history to life. Our large group, ranging in age from 16 to 77, had a memorable time together at the farmhouse. Carlie is extremely responsive and attentive. She even went out of her way to return something to us that we had left behind. Thanks Carlie!
