Wonderful Stay!

We had an amazing time at this property! The home was exactly as described—clean, comfortable, and well-equipped with everything we needed for a relaxing stay. The attention to detail was clear, from the cozy furnishings to the thoughtful touches that made us feel right at home.The location was perfect—close enough to everything we wanted to do, yet quiet and peaceful for relaxing downtime. We especially loved the easy access to the lake, the spacious patio for morning coffee and the beautiful view from the living room.Our host, Rebecca, was fantastic—very responsive, friendly, and helpful throughout the entire process. Check-in was seamless, and all instructions were clear and easy to follow.We would absolutely stay here again and highly recommend it to anyone looking for a stress-free getaway.
