Beautiful, secluded and close to the boat launch. Everything was provided. I have never seen a home with so many things provided for your stay. The beds were very comfortable and we had a goo time by the firepit! The outside was beautifully landscaped with many mature plantings. Very pleased with our stay and would stay again.
