Great for a quiet and relaxing family getaway! Clean and comfortable accommodations. Perfect for families with children. I would say that the only caution I would give potential renters is that the dock is down a steep hill from the house, so those with mobility issues may have a challenge getting to the dock. Otherwise highly recommend!

We were looking for a peaceful getaway from life's chaos and that's exactly what we got. The check-in process was incredibly smooth, and the property had everything we needed. A truly 5-star experience. We spent quality family time playing games, watching deer and enjoying the beautiful lake views. There are lots of delicious restaurants around the area. The house is so beautiful, perfect decor touches and very comfortable beds. Would absolutely stay here again!
