Great Weekend Getaway

Stayed with a friend to celebrate the 4th of July and a birthday! A great getaway close to the cities right in the middle of a quaint lake town. Property was clean and well maintained and just perfect for a quick getaway for 2 within walking distance of the town center and beach with a private dock just down the yard. Sonja was a great host and responded quickly to messages with clear communication and details to answer all questions!
