Wonderful family time in a peaceful location

My family enjoyed four nights at this home in mid-March and enjoyed every moment. The owners are wonderful, extremely thoughtful and go the extra mile for their guests to feel comfortable and welcome. Our family enjoyed HOURS on the lake in all the boats available. The lake is very small, quiet and peaceful. My husband and kids also spent so much time fishing and were very successful. I loved spending time reading in the lounge chairs on the dock. There is so much to do in the house and opportunities to have fun together. The beds in the house are super comfortable, I wish I could have brought the downstairs bed home with me!

Just what we needed

The owners were beyond accommodating!!! They were super quick to respond to questions and gave helpful and fun tips. We rented the boats/kayaks and had so much fun!!! The area outside is perfect for everyone, they have so many different areas to hang out❤️. The beds were so comfy, I was super worried because I forgot my pillow at home, but there’s were great. We are looking forward to our next visit💕

Relaxing

It was lots of stairs twist and turns . We didn’t understand the water drippings in our bed when the upstairs was being used but overall great stay. Loved the scenery from the peddle boat.
