The property owners had a well-organized and efficient check-in plan. The process was proactively communicated several days before arrival and all conceivable questions anticipated and answered. Once inside, the home was very well-maintained, the kitchen well-equipped, and certainly adequate to meet all of our family's needs.

Great Getaway

Our visit was during the quiet season, at the end of summer. We enjoyed a relaxing view of the lake from both upper and lower porches. The slope of the lot down to the water was doable for 65-70 year olds as long as we took our time. The kitchen was well stocked and the entire home extremely clean. The owners were quick to respond to any questions we had.
