Thank you for your review! We are so happy that you enjoyed your stay and hope to host you again.
We had a fabulous time from the moment we stepped into this home! The views are breathtaking and the house was cozy, inviting and had all the amenities that we needed! Very relaxing and restful weekend with a full day of fishing from the covered boat dock. We caught and released around 15 fish, from perch, catfish to big mouth bass. The area was so quiet and peaceful with friendly neighbors that would engage in small talk as they passed by on their boats or kayaks!Will definitely rent this place again!

Thank you for reviewing our property! We are glad that you had a memorable stay.
We enjoyed our days together there, but since we have gotten older, it’s become difficult to sleep in the soft beds that you have there. Other than that, everything else was fine. I doubt that we will be able to return due to the bedding.

We absolutely love this place and we will stay there again. Clean, quiet, beautiful. The perfect size for our family of 4. And the dock is very nice one for a boat and 2 jet skis. Move area to swim too. Lots of outdoor seating.
