The proximity to the lake was CLOSE and easily accessible. A flat and gentle walk from the back porch to the covered dock and boat house. The hot tub was hot and clean, and private with a lake view.
My favorite spot, the porch swing on the dock.

We had a wonderful stay. Every thing was as pictured and described. I only took on star off because the living room furniture seems broken down.the couch and chair with the ottoman sat to low to the floor and having joint mobility problems I count not get up from the furniture on my own. Also guest bedroom my daughter said the bed was uncomfortable. Other than that I would definitely stay again if living room furniture was updated.

Much needed getaway

The cabin is located right on the water with a very nice yard. Parking was very easy enough room for at least two vehicles to be able to turn around. House was immaculate. The property and location were very calm and peaceful but also close to downtown where there are walking , restaurants here live music so much to do
