Lovely lakeside stay
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay in this lakeside home. The water is just steps away, and we loved taking our kayaks with our kiddos. Also loves using the fire pit for s’mores. The home was clean and comfortable and came with all the necessary amenities. The property owner is great with communication and even helped us find a cabin nearby for friends who were looking for a last minute place to stay.
