Wedding Weekend
Such a wonderful experience. The only problem we had was getting to the property in the middle of a blizzard but that’s no fault of the owners. It was so clean and nice. Anytime I messaged the host he responded right away.

Outstanding property! We were there to fish beautiful Lake Chapin. The house is fantastic, easy check in and out, all the amenities as advertised/needed, easy walk down to the lake, and a well maintained dock for our boat. Mike is super responsive and helpful - we could not have been more pleased!
