The lake house was exactly what we wanted. Everything was clean and anything you can think of that you need the owners made available to you. The communication with the owners was wonderful as I had to reach out prior to booking since my husband was handicapped. Maria was wonderful. We even lucked out and were able to check in early. The lake views were stunning. Absolutely loved our stay and hope to be back in the future.

Gorgeous retreat with multiple comfy and clear views of the lake, large trees, and bird songs for nature lovers but all the comforts of town within a few minutes. Hosts were responsive and had everything we needed when we realized we’d forgotten our own (wine opener, hair dryer, etc.). Would definitely stay again!
