Thank you , Eric. So glad you enjoyed your stay. We look forward to having you back next year.
We loved our stay at Carly’s house. She anticipated all our needs. The space was perfect for our group. Great location near the lake. All the extra toys to use in the garage was an added bonus. Wish we had more time to use them all. Evening live music from the restaurant across the street was lovely too. We will definitely be back!
