The best VRBO we have ever stayed at. Lavette and Joe were fun, accommodating, and made sure our stay was perfect. Including fresh vegetables from their garden. We can’t recommend this place enough. They also have kayaks to use. Just out of their cove to the left are the mountains and the water was clean and warm to swim in. DO IT!
