This house was the perfect weekend getaway! The breathtaking waterfront views were the highlight of our stay, and the deck was the perfect place to relax and take in the scenery. The home was spotless, well-maintained, and very comfortable.One thing to note is that the spiral staircase leading to the upper level may be challenging for older guests or anyone with mobility concerns. However, there is a convenient ground-floor bedroom, which makes the home more accessible.Overall, we had a wonderful stay and would definitely recommend this property to anyone looking for a peaceful, scenic retreat.

The property was immaculate throughout. Numerous amenities were provided, along with directions for use. Everything was well stocked and thought out. All communication was prompt and easily accessible. The scenery was absolutely breathtaking and the environment was peaceful. The spiral staircase could be a challenge for some, as well as the rock path in the back, leading to the water. There was not a ping pong table as pictured, but the low clearance on the middle level of the house, accessible only from the outside, would have made any physical type activity difficult. We thoroughly enjoyed our time at the house and highly recommend staying at the property.
