Everything was very convenient to the location. The house allowed everyone to be together, but also space for individual activities. The property was stunning with lakeview and the dock and boathouse were a great place to relax and sunbathe. We highly recommend!

Great Family Memories
We had a wonderful time as a family! The home was beautiful and functional. It had more than enough space. The kitchen table was large enough for all of us. The game room was great fun. The kayaks and paddle board were great fun. We loved the area and will be back. Thank you for sharing it with us.
