Its nice and cozy. Very comfortable no issues checking in and it's close to the lake.

This place is Cute, extremely clean and so convenient to everything we needed. All the conveniences of home. Loved the kayak and thoroughly enjoyed watching and listening to the birds in the neighbors garden. The bed is a bit small and softer than we’re used to, but literally the only negative. It was just hubs and I . I Would recommend . Host was very responsive.
