Perfect fall get away

We had a family get together and this property did not disappoint. They had lots of kitchen supplies to cook and bake, a large dining room table so we could all eat together and an amazing view of the lake. The basement was a great play area for the kids. The hosts were attentive and very welcoming! Can’t wait to stay there again!

Awesome Vacation

Far exceeded our expectations. Supplied most of our needs plus! Had plenty of room for everyone. The deck was such a treat overlooking the lake and made for a super relaxing retreat whether enjoying an early morning cup of coffee or late evening view of the lake and wildlife. Of course swimming and kayacking was a major highlight. The grandkids loved it and asked if we were going again next year!!! It was easy contacting the host for any issues. You will be amazed at the woodwork display through the home. It is absolutely beautful!
