My family of 8 enjoyed our stay at Layton House. The huge, beautiful kitchen and gazebo with grill are great for cooking at home. All the beds are very comfortable and the first floor bathroom has been updated nicely. The upstairs master open loft is very large and has 2 bathroom areas. Because it's open, the noise from downstairs carries if you go to sleep before the rest of the group. Our 6 year old loved the pool behind the house, the front of the house has great views. While the dock was being worked on while we were there, some of our group still enjoyed fishing from the property shore. Linda was a great host. She arrange for kayaks to be brought to the property for the week. The house and all the property was very clean and well maintained. I recommend the Layton House for a large group looking for privacy. It's about 20-30 minute drive into Marathon if you're looking to go to local restaurants.
