Our son got married at a venue close by and the house provided a peaceful and relaxing place to all gather as a family. The view is amazing and there is plenty of beds/space for everyone. Our only regret is we didn’t stay a day longer! Highly recommend if you have a large group who wants a beautiful home to unwind and enjoy the amazing lake view.
