My wife and I are retired and travel a lot! We were visiting life-long friends as part of our trip. This was probably one of the nicest places we have stayed in. The lakehouse was beautiful and had everything we needed and more! We're making this a yearly trip and we'll definitely be back next year. Thanks so much. Dan & Debra

Absolutely fabulous! Thank you for such a wonderful place to stay at with our fur-babies! The house was fully thought out with labeling to help the guest at every step. It was clean and had plenty of space for the two of us, but could see larger groups as well. Great leaf peeping season and close to the areas we wanted to explore. The neighbors were very friendly on our walks! Hoping to stay when we can enjoy the lake access in a warmer season, but truly this is a four season house with great amenities. Thank you again for your hospitality. Owners were responsive.
