This lovely vacation home is a place I will definitely revisit over and over again. Whether siting outside or inside, the location is perfect to relax and enjoy the view of the lake. The house is just a short walk to the lake and to other activities around the lake. Its home away from Home.

Perfect location and views

This was my second time here. The location was a short walk to my meetings in Stuart auditorium. The views of the lake from the front yard and the backyard are perfect, and the yard is beautifully cared for. Inside the house is warm and cozy and has everything you need for your stay.

Beautiful location

Lovely place and the location is amazing! Perfect if a very firm mattress is what you prefer, unfortunately it's not our preference so sleep was challenging. Property is changing owners so changes may be made. We'd definitely consider staying here again despite the extra firm mattresses.
