We enjoyed this property very much
This house was perfect for our visit to see my husband's family. We had all 3 of our adult children with us and the house had enough space for all of us to have a relaxing, wonderful vacation. I thought all the unique decorations added to the beauty of the house. Everything about the house was modern and up to date. The beds were comfortable with great sheets. We thoroughly enjoyed every moment of our stay.

Clean, Cozy and truly well appointed home
We had a wonderful time. The house was impeccable and all appliances were updated, clean and in great shape. The furniture was well appointed and it was great to see all of the antiques and newtiques so well arranged. Beds were comforable and the deck furniture was easy to access and very nice. Brand new grill and coffee pot! Lots of goodines in the kitchen and a dish or pan for every thing. Godo beds, beautiful, very nice linens. The kitchen was equip with anything we could think of...except large trash bags. No soap in the shower, and no bath matt. We loved sitting down by the fire pit. The lake was beautiful and the dock was expanded to set chairs on the end. The only thing missing was water toys. We wish the home would have offered floaty toys for adults, paddle boards, or kayaks. We also would have appreciated a week removal or raking in the water off the dock before arrival. There were tons of weeks off the dock.
