Property was perfect. We truly enjoyed our stay. Everything was clean and stocked. We loved having the fire in the evening. We did get out for a quick paddle in the cove but would have taken advantage of the other water toys had it been a little warmer. Check in and check was seamless.

Relaxing stay with a gorgeous view
Becky and Eric were very kind and accommodating. The stay had everything we needed to cook, hang out, and enjoy some entertaining movies. We would definitely book again in the summer when the weather is more consistent and the lake isn’t halfway frozen. Even still, the view from the living room window was so stunning. We had a great time!
