Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy
Beautiful home,lovely interior and furniture. Mattresses were very comfortable. Plenty of room for a family to spread out for different activities. Enjoyed the kayaks and swim dock. Enjoyed the fire pit and expansive lawn easily accessible with no need for stairs. Three restaurants within 5 minutes were available with one on the lake.Had a wonderful time and would love to return.
