A Precious Little Gem

This adorable cabin is very roomy. Sits on a quiet road that leads to the lake, yet close to shopping and eateries. May not matter to anyone else, but to me the water pressure was perfect. The bed in master suite was perfect, I slept like a baby. Everything was perfect... many thanks to Mark & Katie.
