Summary: Our family had a great Labor Day vacation at the Pickled Pike!! The vacation started with great communication with the host and continued to not disappoint the rest of the vacation. The house was exactly as described and the lake front was awesome for swimming and relaxing. The neighbors were extremely nice and their dog Henry was my sons best friend for the entire vacation. Thank you Tom and Michelle for allowing us to enjoy your vacation property. We will definitely return when our busy schedules allow us to. Thanks again!!
