Relaxing Family getaway

Beautiful property, gorgeous lake view, large sandy beach, house big enough for a family to all sleep comfortably, boat launch nearby. Hosts were communicative and responsive. Only issue we had was it was quite rainy two days and the home isn’t very close to any attractions, but we knew this going into our stay so wasn’t an issue. Would definitely and stay again.

Family weekend

Beautiful sunsets. Outdoor areas great for outdoor games (we brought cornhole), eating Al fresco, and campfires. Lake was nice, had some activity but not overly loud. Boat launch is not too far and dock at cabin was very nice. Took daily 2 mile walks on the road, neighborhood seemed friendly - bring your books to exchange at the Little Free Libraries. Cabin was clean and cozy, had everything we needed to cook our meals and space for game nights.
