We had a lovely Christmas stay and really enjoyed the property. The fenced backyard was perfect for our puppy, which made the trip so much more relaxing. The location was great, close to the lake but still quiet and peaceful.The beds were comfortable, the house was sunny and warm, and the shower had excellent pressure (always a bonus!). Communication with the host was easy and responsive throughout our stay.Overall, a really comfortable and enjoyable place to stay. We’d happily recommend it to others.
