There was plenty of space for our group and the location on the lake was great. Check in and check out were seamless and if we find ourselves in the area again soon, we will be sure to stay here again!
We had the the best stay! The house had everything we needed and more! The kids played in the lake and had a blast, jumping off the dock. We brought our own lifejackets because we weren’t sure if there would be any and I’m glad we did. Check in with seamless and we really enjoyed the welcome basket and sample of drinks in the fridge. Thank you for a perfect stay!
Very nice place and wonderful views!! Communication was excellent and we enjoyed our stay so much!

Lovely house with everything you need for your stay. The large decks were nice to sit out on in the evenings and enjoy the views. The owner was very accomodating with our needs.
