Plenty of room in relaxing, quiet neighborhood

This was a perfect spot for our family. There was plenty of room for us--the beds and sofas were very comfortable. We loved spending our mornings on the porch. The teens especially enjoyed their short walk to the lake to rent boats.

Everything we needed and more!

The house was perfect for our family of 5 and had everything we needed for our 2 year old son and 80 year old parents! Every detail was taken care of and all the little things were covered from Laundry detergent to coffee to extra firewood to scissors and tape to finish wrapping a gift. The house was clean, beds were great and location was outstanding. We would definitely stay here again when back in town!

Convenient, Quiet, and Comfy

When we first walked into the place and fumbled for a light switch, we saw a marvelous kitchen where everything had a descriptive label. We were quickly able to bypass the usual "Hey, where are the silverware?" complications immediately. Multi-switch panels are also clearly labeled as to their function. Convenient! During the first afternoon we were there heavy rain came through while we were watching TV in the front room. We didn't notice the rain until someone got up to see it out the window. Very Quiet! Clean, paved trails are a block away around the lakes.
