Beautiful surrondings

Very nice stay, could use some better lighting throughout and outside, ceiling fans in bedrooms would've helped. Railing spacing on the curved steps could allow a small child to fall through.

We had a wonderful stay. The property had everything we needed and more. We enjoyed being able to use the jacuzzi tub. We spent most of our time at a neighboring lake and hope to explore Ponto Lake in the future. We found the property to be quiet, restful and relaxing. It surpassed our expectations. We did not have any issues with the steps but it is something to be aware of.
