Perfect private gateway with stunning views!
We had an amazing stay at this private ranch! The property is peaceful and beautifully maintained, offering the perfect escape from the city. We especially loved spending time on the paddle boat, relaxing in the hot tub, and cooling off in the pool. The outdoor spaces were perfect for unwinding, and the views of the lake made it even more special.The house was spacious, clean, and well-equipped with everything we needed. The host was responsive and made the check-in process smooth. If you're looking for a relaxing getaway with great amenities, this is the perfect spot. We would definitely return!
