We really enjoyed our stay and would definitely recommend this property. The home was clean, comfortable, and exactly as pictured. It was a wonderful place to relax, and we appreciated the peaceful setting.
We stayed here with another couple and we had a wonderful four days! We appreciated the cleanliness and quality of the cookware, etc… since we cooked there a lot! We soaked in the lake one afternoon and were also thankful for the weed eater since the lake is a little weedy. The fire pit is great and so were the fun lawn games! Thanks so much for a very relaxing and enjoyable getaway!!!! Would highly recommend and we will be back!
Very beautiful & peaceful lakeshore home! Great communication with the host!! And even though there was not a boat the host did recommend dock side rental. They brought the boat right to the boat launch which is only 3 mins away. Enjoyed beautiful sunsets, fishing, paddle boat & khakis. If you are looking for a quiet get away this is the place!!
