Great home!
We loved staying here! Plenty of room to spread out and also come together for family meals! We loved the access to board games. The WiFi worked great! The view from the back deck was priceless and the short walk to the dock was nice! We hope to come back to this house when it’s a little warmer to make use of the beautiful lake!

Children and pet friendly
The yard is great, and to play ball with the kids and dog. Swimming was an additional bonus. It’s like your grandmothers summer house nice and cozy.

Great for Families
We had a great time with our family here! The kids spent lots of time down at the lake swimming off the dock. Theres a great area down by the docks with picnic tables and a gazebo as well. We also spent lots of time on the boat we rented and kept in the dock slip. We enjoyed some beautiful sunsets both from the dock and from the deck of the house! The house was very spacious with lots of room for all 8 of us and had everything we needed. We spent time in the hot tub, having fires in the backyard and on the rainy day we had, we played some of the board games that were there. We will definitely be back!
