Great house for families

Great house, we had two families staying there. Good view of the lake, good sun, and especially liked the downstairs living area for kids to go down to whilst adults were in the living spaces upstairs. Would recommend and would stay again.

Beautiful

The house was beautiful and clean and the views were amazing, the fireplace really topped it off to give it a real warm and cozy feeling. Kerry was awesome as we requested an early check in and he made it happen along with everything else. Also the beds were super comfy.
