The view is amazing. The property was large and spacious, it accommodated our large group with easy. We had plenty of gathering space and enough space for people to have alone time. The deck looks out over the lake and the view is perfectly framed with trees. The shade from the trees provides just the right amount of shade. The host Tamara was as delight to work with.
