Lake Front Retreat
We had such a relaxing and amazing time at this home. The original plan was to site see the area but we ended up spending most of the days in this beautiful home. There are three different levels all with fireplaces and cozy furnishings. The owners were very accommodating and couldn’t do enough for us. We will definitely be back.
