We felt we were literally staying at a friend's lakehouse - the photos are consistent with the style we experienced. This is not a remodeled, updated house, and it does not pretend to be either. It has the most lovely back yard covered with gorgeous shade trees - the perfect S'mores fire pit and plenty of chairs for me and my family to enjoy. 7 of us slept perfectly. We made great memories, fished from the pier, where we caught and released a few small fish and star-gazed. Floated in the water with our floats and enjoyed yard games we brought, like washers, bag toss, etc. Perfect views of the water and plenty of huge shade trees to enjoy the water views while sitting on the back porch rocking in the chairs.
