The house is beautiful - it was easy to find - and Paul was such a welcoming host! 10 of us stayed a Thursday to Sunday and there was room to spare. The only thing we missed was a hand mixer for my mom's birthday angel food cake!

The owner, Paul, was friendly and truly wanted to provide the best experience he could for us. The remodeled house had a cozy cabin vibe and included a well stocked kitchen, lots of sleeping areas and bathrooms. The back patio was our favorite place to hang out with a lovely view. The fire pit attached to the porch was great to have. We loved the included pontoon and the option to bring our dog. Also, our grandson loved the swing. I have mobility issues so a few things were challenging but not impossible: slope/incline to the dock/lake, high top kitchen chairs and a few steps into the house at all entrances.

We had such a wonderful time staying here. We were here for time with family and we had lots of room. We got to bring our dogs at a very reasonable price and we spent time on the pontoon which was included. Paul the owner was very kind and wanted to make sure if we needed anything to call him. We would come back again and stay longer next time. Check this out you won't be disappointed!!
