Nice home for the weekend. Host communicated well to provide reminders but didn't even need to since site description/ instructions were accurate and thorough. Views of the lake were amazing with multiple spaces for lounging and reading books- my goal for a vacation.

This was the perfect “staycation” spot for my family to escape to for a week. The property is right on the water with ample space outside to enjoy the water and sunshine. The decor was well-appointed and the host provided nearly everything we needed to enjoy our stay. If you’re looking for a taste of the FLX region nearby to incredible wineries and local art, this is an ideal property to choose as your home base for exploring all that this beautiful region has to offer. My family and I thoroughly enjoyed this well maintained and gorgeous property. We especially enjoyed watching the waterfowl and seeing all the fish. Highly recommend!!
