We had a wonderful stay! The house was comfortable and thoughtfully stocked with all the little things we needed—even dog feeders! We especially appreciated being able to bring our dog. The huge private gated backyard was perfect for letting our pup safely enjoy the retreat off-leash, and being able to swim in the lake made it even more special. The peaceful community, great fishing spot, and beautiful bright stars at night made this a truly relaxing getaway. We loved our stay and would happily come back!
