Amazing view

Everything went so smoothly. Chris and family were very welcoming. The property was spacious and very clean and well equipped. We hope to return and stay longer. Having kayaks for us to take out was a bonus.

Beautiful Lakeside Retreat

Enjoyed this clean, well laid out suite with lots of amenities and everything you need to enjoy a peaceful and relaxing stay. There is a nice patio area with BBQ and outdoor dining. The dock was great with room for our boat and for swimming and relaxing. The hosts were wonderful and our dog enjoyed her stay as well.
