Nice space

We are thankful for our stay. This was a convenient location for us, accepted our pets, and even had a small fenced area, and laundry. The house was clean and well kept with coffee pots, k cups, tea, spices and the cookware and utensils we needed too. Our family enjoyed spending time together over Easter there.

Liked: Check-in, communication
Disliked: Cleanliness
The property is adequate. The host was easy to communicate with. Plenty of places to sleep. There really is no yard so the pictures are somewhat deceiving. It is close to downtown and the lake and it is a nice little town.
