There was a lot to like about staying here! It’s close to the lake in a quiet, friendly neighborhood. The upstairs family room and deck have very nice views. There’s a spacious queen room upstairs with a small but functional bathroom. The house is well equipped with blinds and shades to keep the sun out or provide privacy. The only missing items that we couldn’t find were bbq utensils, namely a metal spatula. We appreciated the washer and dryer/clothesline. We enjoyed all the comfortable places to sit. Thank you!
