Excellent weekend getaway

Adorable getaway spot to relax and unwind! The beds were super comfortable and I loved the twin beds for my two kids! I appreciated the thoughtful touches like s’mores supplies and refrigerated filtered water. We will be back!

Absolutely beautiful lake view! House was fully furnished with everything needed for a long weekend! Bed was so comfortable-hard to get up and get going. Florida room was perfect for dining and watching the sunset. Outdoor fire pit was perfect for a cold evening as the sun went down and listening to the Sandhill cranes roosting on the lake! My only wish was there was a t.v. In the master bedroom-otherwise everything was absolutely perfect. Thank you for sharing your beautiful property with us.
