Beautiful property and convenient location! This was a great lake house to spend a few days at, the location on the lake was great, it is tucked back a bit in a cove so you don’t get much boat and jet ski traffic and there are stairs off the dock that go right into the water. The screened porch was really nice to have as well.Our family and kids really enjoyed this property and will likely be back again in the future.
