How Cute!

Only minutes from Goose Island State Park, which is where our friends were camping and we would fish. We had our friends over for a less wind blown dinner and they loved the house too. Very clean and well stocked house; I believe they thought of everything! Close enough to the busier areas, but not in the middle of the rush. The house is perfect for two couples or a "girls get-a-way". The layout of the house and the decor were well thought out! We will return!
