Cool house with a great view of the chain of lakes

This was a great house to have a friendly reunion at. Has a great view of the chain of lakes, and is close to everything fun to do in the area.

Beautiful Home

This place is amazing. It is beautiful inside and out. So many beds! The lake is beautiful, especially at sunrise. Great fishing. The kids swam. I love all the USB ports. The master suite is huge and has amazing views. We did not even get a chance to try the giant tub in the master. Owner is polite and responsive to questions. I would definitely stay again.
