Over at Lakeview Country Villa, the good times continue. A fully fenced backyard with another grill and patio space provides even more room to gather outdoors. And if the weather sends you inside? No problem—challenge the crew to a tournament in the game room, complete with a pool table, ping pong, foosball, darts, and a snack table for mid-game bites.
Lakeview Country Villa greets you with a warm, chic living room, cozy seating, and even a hidden reading nook off the kitchen for quiet escapes. The spacious eat-in kitchen is fully equipped and perfect for everything from pancake breakfasts to group dinners.
