We loved staying here! The views were amazing, the apartment was very open/spacious, beautifully decorated, and perfect for a romantic weekend getaway. Very clean and well-maintained.

Can't wait to get back here again!!

The view over the lake was spectacular for sunsets and especially full moon! The place was spotless and had everything we needed, with very comfortable furniture. Could use a small step stool to get into and out of the bed, and maybe a small half door across the stairs for safety, especially at night.

The location of the property was beautiful and the size is good as well, however, we stayed in the lower unit and two out of the three mornings, we awoke to toddlers running above our heads. It was miserable waking up at 5 and 6 am to kids running through the house above. If we ever stay again at this location, we will only stay in upper unit.
