Perfect place for family
This place is the perfect vacation home for a family getaway. It's in a quiet neighborhood with a huge yard! Close to the lake, a fire pit with a cute little s'mores set up, and beds for everyone! It was my husband, our two boys, my in laws, and my sister in-law, her husband and myself and it was wonderful even though our stay was short. Thank you again for all the memories that were created when we stayed!

Beautiful property
This is a beautiful house! It was clean and the communication with the host was prompt. Lots of bees had built nests around all entrances and they had someone out within an hour to take care of it. There is a fire pit and they had a basket full of s'mores stuff which was a cute touch. I wish there had been a Bluetooth speaker so we had some music, but that was the only thing lacking! I would definitely recommend this rental!
