This house was exactly what we were looking for when planning our summer vacation. Plenty of room for family activities, clean rooms, and lake front access. We had an amazing time on the dock and watching the sunset from the balcony or kitchen table. We will definitely be back.

We celebrated a special day. Beautiful setting, beautiful home, access to paddle board and kayaks perfect. Well appointed and comfortable. Convenience store very close for forgetten syrup.
