Great location! Loved the park that is right next to us along with the public beach and boat landing. Right across from the park is a nice bar with a patio overlooking the lake and less than a block away is a Dairy Freeze. Owner was very receptive to questions.

Amazing property!

We stayed here for a girls weekend and the location was perfect! Walking distance to some restaurants and close to downtown and grocery stores. House was clean and well kept, beds were comfortable, linens provided were good quality. Kitchen had essentials for cooking. Overall, a wonderful stay and would book again!
