About the host
Hosted by Dawn Garrett
My husband and I are new hosts, and are not currently living in the area, but come out from time-to-time, as we enjoy the lake with our family and want to share with others to experience the serenest of the lake and wildlife. We love watching the fish jump, the turtles relax and the comorants, herons, and many other birds fly around.
Why they chose this property
We love the peace and quiet of the neighborhood, nice for walks or bike rides. During the nice weather, you will see folks drive around in golf carts. The neighborhood boat ramp is 3 houses down from the house.
What makes this property unique
What makes this property unique is the calmness of the canal, while having large cove water views from deck and yard.
