This is a premium house on an outstanding property. Everything a family of 10 or more could want.One important note is that it is a gentle gradual walk down to the dock; no stairs beyond the lower floor. We all want to stay here again!!!

House was very well stocked with all the essentials. That’s key for a place at the lake where it’s quite a drive to get grocery items. Location on the lake was wonderful!

Property was very well located in a quiet area with a great view of the lake. Bedrooms and beds accommodated our group of 10 perfectly. It was a drive to the nearest grocery but we knew that would be the case and came prepared. The Host responded quickly during the registration and check-in process. We would be happy to return!
