What a great place, two bars on the lake, clean, quiet. Went here for a work trip in Aberdeen, stayed here rather than a hotel, excellent choice and I would book again if available.

Our family had a wonderful stay at this lake house! There was room for everyone with all of the comforts of home provided. We especially loved that we were able to bring our 3 dogs because most properties only allow 2–they had a wonderful time enjoying the outdoors with the family instead of being left at home! Thanks for your hospitality; we’ll be back!
