Comfy and cozy for Thanksgiving getaway
The view is so calming - I really enjoyed looking out at the lake. And only takes a few minutes to walk to it. We made use of the full-sized kitchen and the large dining table. Beds were comfy. It was nice for the kids to each have their own room. It was chilly out but the home had plenty of heat. Great location. Consider adding one soft chair to the living room. The couch is great though. Will return.

Fantastic home and location!
The location is incredible with amazing views. We spent most of the time in the wonderful sunroom with huge view of the lake. The house is lovely with really thoughtful touches for anyone's needs. My husband and I with our 2 dogs had a great time. Easy access to the beach and quiet residential neighborhood. Perfect!

Absolutely Fabulous
My 3 grown children and I stayed here for one week. We absolutely loved it the entire time. The views were spectacular and the lake breeze coming in fabulous. We enjoyed our daily walks to the beach. The only thing I wish was different about our vacation here was - I wish I could have rented it for two straight weeks. I highly recommend staying here!!
