A Gem Right off the Highway

We had a great time at this lake house. The home is cozy with all the space and amenities needed to relax, have fun, and not stress. Hermit Lake is gorgeous and relaxing. It was so easy to enjoy kayaks, the canoe, the pedal boat, and to fish! The hosts had minimal requests for the exit, and communication was as clean and simple as can be. Would absolutely return. If you want a taste of Lake Life, this one is a no-brainer. Highly recommend.
