We had a wonderful stay. The location was perfect—right across the street from the store, making it easy to walk over, and just a short walk to the landing and swimming area. The house was absolutely immaculate, everything is brand new, and it was tucked back in the woods, making it feel peaceful and private. We truly enjoyed our stay and would love to stay here again the next time we’re in town!
