The house was large and spacious for our family of 5 adults and 2 young children. We like being together but the house also provided us with our own space. The kitchen and other amenities were excellent. The lake view was spectacular. We were very pleased that all venues we wanted to visit and places to eat were a 5-7 minute drive from the house. We couldn’t have asked for a better location for our visit!
