Amazing bang for your buck

Our stay was awesome!! The place is bigger than I thought and provided everything you needed and more. Cutest little back patio for afternoon sun. Fireplace below the tv was gorgeous and the bed was comfy! Can’t fault it :))

Expensive stay

Well overpriced for what it is. Good location but not lakefront. Apartment was a good size and comfortable but there were quite a few maintenance issues, especially in the bathroom. Really lovely lady on check in, made us feel welcome straight away. A nice place to stay but not for the price tag.
