Very nice and relaxing

Had a very nice week with friends and family, we weren’t sure if we would be including the kids on the trip when we made the initial reservation were planning it to be just a golf trip but glad we decided to bring them both the house and surrounding area location are very family oriented. Lots to do both at the house for the kiddos and the surrounding area. Lots of sightseeing and lake activities. Wonderful family or just adult location, will definitely be back. House was very nicely kept and clean, decently updated as well and plenty of room for us all.
