This is an excellent property, with fantastic amenities and an absolutely beautiful view of the lake. The vibes here are immaculate. I love the trees and the back porch overlooking the lake and the dock the most. The neighbors are so friendly and polite, and the location is wonderful, very close to all of the activities we were interested in. We look forward to coming back soon!

We enjoyed our stay from start to finish. The place is super relaxing and was as advertised. Morning sunrises here on the deck are awesome, as are the evenings with the gentle wave action up against the bank. Very quiet area and yet real close to town for everything.

The cabin has been updated and is very clean, extremely pleasant and well equipped. It is right on the lake shore and you can hear the waves lapping at the rocks on the shore at night, if you leave the windows open. It's one of the nicest places we have rented anywhere.
