This was a lovely place - we had a private room on the back of the house, over the garage. We could see the lake and it was so restful for us. There was a grill outside that was perfect to make dinners. The beds were comfy and there were alot of towels etc. Comfy living room and dining area. Can't beat this place. Loved staying there
