I am so fortunate that I came across this listing. After a miserable two weeks at another lodging option, I couldn’t take it anymore. I was staying in the area to assist with the storm cleanup and needed somewhere quiet and cozy. I found this property and what a gem. Tucked away on a dead end street with a beautiful lake right behind. How could you not like this place? The community is top notch and has all the amenities nearby. If I’m ever in the area again, I will not hesitate to stay here. Incredible host with top-notch communication skills. Book this place if you are in the area, you will not be disappointed.
