This property had everything we needed for our girl's weekend away. The VRBO ad states that it is on the lake which is give the impression that it is directly on the water and it is a few blocks away. Besides that, cute place to stay.

The cabin was clean and cute and in a convenient location! Since the weather was hot, we appreciated having AC that could keep the temperature comfortable inside the cabin. We only stayed one night, but it looked like the kitchen was well appointed for a longer stay, and there were some games, too. Also, the bed was comfy!

Easy access to the property. Very convenient location with lots of parking. Excellent air-conditioning. Good bed. Good pillows. We basically slept there and had a cup of coffee in the morning. Would be a good location for a weekend. Plenty of space.

Stayed just one night for a wedding and it was perfect for what we needed. Reasonable price and only 2 minutes away from the venue at the vineyard. Did not really use the kitchen/ living room but they were decent sized. Much more space than a hotel room.
