Was such a pleasant experience! Great amenities, great location, comfortable beds, really nice lake view and access to the lake. Was a wonderful place to holiday at, we loved it and also really loved the inclusion of dvds and games/activities at the property to use. Loved how accommodating the host was and was so easy to interact with online when booking:) thanks for having us!
