This home was very nice and cozy. The Lake view was excellent from the back deck, the den, and most of the bedrooms. It was the perfect place for the quiet and peaceful vacation I was looking for. I highly recommend this place. It was all exceptionally clean. Check in was simple and easy. Communication was very good. I highly recommend this lake view home.
