Perfect vacation at the lake

The cabin was exactly as shown in the listing, and even cuter in person. Located on a beautiful lake and in a quiet neighborhood. Public boat landing was just down the road which was very convenient. Kids loved getting to use the paddle boat and kayaks. Would stay here again!
