We stayed two nights, and couldn’t have been happier with the property and our stay! Perfectly situated directly on a small lake, with the dock only about 30 feet from the back door of the house. The interior was nicely updated, with small bedrooms, and a full kitchen. Furniture and beds were comfy, the kayaks and stand up paddle board were easy to access and in good condition. Very clean house. Extremely happy with our stay!
