Great location, and loved sitting on the back patio on the channel. There was a gas fire pit which was easy to use, and comfy chairs to sit in. Also, was a great town, Syracuse IN, and we rented a boat for the day too.

The rental was beautiful and very well maintained.Our guest contact, Tamra, was exceptionally helpful when a family emergency came up towards the end of our stay. The few times I needed to contact her, she always responded almost immediately. We loved the property and Tamra was a joy to work with!
