A Perfect Lakeside Getaway!

I recently had the pleasure of staying at this stunning rental property, and I can't recommend it highly enough! From the moment we arrived, we were greeted by breathtaking views and a warm, welcoming atmosphere that made us feel right at home.The property itself is beautifully maintained, with spacious living areas that are both cozy and stylish. The large floor to ceiling windows provided plenty of natural light and allowed us to enjoy the picturesque scenery of the lake. The kitchen was fully equipped, making it easy for us to prepare meals and enjoy them in the spacious dining and living area overlooking the water.The host Chris was incredibly responsive and attentive, ensuring that we had everything we needed for a fantastic stay. This rental property is a hidden gem and we can’t wait to return.

Gorgeous Home!

The house is beautiful and spacious, the perfect setup for a group gathering. We loved the lake view, all the windows, and outside access from just about anywhere in the house. The house was immaculate, very clean, temperature controls in all the bedrooms, and the gas fireplace was a nice touch on a cool evening. Chris was an excellent host, very accommodating to our arrival and departure requests, and a great communicator. Would love to stay here again!
