Liked: Cleanliness
We had an excellent time during our stay at the house. It was very clean and had all the amenities anyone would ever need. The location on the lake was perfect and we enjoyed sitting out on the private beach during the nights by the fire pit. The host, Dawn, was great in communicating with us before and during our stay. We are already looking at when we can book to stay here again. I highly recommend a stay here if you are looking for a relaxing getaway!!
