A perfect gals getaway

Five girlfriends had a wonderful getaway for three nights mid-Oct. Mother Nature didn’t cooperate, but we had a blast anyway. Hosts were very quick with their responses and their house was cleanly, and cute as a button. We played cards, worked a puzzle, watched some football and a movie, and cooked up some fabulous food to our hearts content. Beautiful view of the lake too!

Our stay was fantastic from start to finish! Communication with owners was excellent! The house and property was very well maintained, comfortable sleeping arrangements, and very inviting! The views of the lake were second to none! My family had a wonderful time, despite the rainy weather! We will be staying here again! Thank you so much! A++++
