Excellent property and wonderful hosts. This was a beautiful space for two families for a quick weekend trip. Our kids loved the sleeping spaces and the air hockey table. Our adults loved the view and the coffee options. Great internet access, plenty of movie options, and a really great weekend. We would 100% come back again. :-)

The home was great. The deck is very nice. The view was nice. The term "lake access" is liberal. I didn't find a safe way to get to it. The fire pit area wasn't as large as the photos make it appear. Other than those two critiques, it was a great stay, especially if you like remote.
