We loved this place! The house was clean, the hot tub was clean, the location was great and we loved the lake, and our kids loved the kayaks! It was so peaceful, and the surrounding towns were so cute. And we were close enough to the Silver Lake area that we could take in all it has to offer as well. Great vacation!

Perfection!

Everything was very clean and fresh. We had everything we needed. Our boys loved the kayaks and the table with built in fire pit for smores! The only negative was the public boat access to the lake next door, which was noisy at times. Otherwise, it was perfection! We will definitely be back.
