The lake view was great and easy access into the water. There was no road noise which was good as we are use to a different time zone. There was some construction noise which started earlier than we would have liked but really no problem. Everything was very clean and there was a good supply of toiletries and kitchen supplies. We missed not having a television on the nights we couldn’t sit outside, but we managed. This is definitely a place I would recommend and want to stay at again

Thank you for the feedback and review. I also enjoy the lake view. We are considering the TV issue and should have a decision shortly. We will post a new photo with a TV installed if we decide to get one. Welcome again.

Adorable!

Amazing view when you step through the front door. Very clean, and quaint. Plenty of room for just what we needed. Just dont forget water shoes as it is a bit rocky and zebra mussles are sharp. Had a wonderful quiet stay enjoyed seeing birds every morning on the water. Definitely recommend!

Thank you for staying. I am glad you mentioned the water shoes. I will try to add that somewhere in the listing. Regards, Leif
