Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy
This is a neat little hide away just off the main road. The house was clean but the deck furniture needed a good cleaning. There’s a few things that should be fixed in the house but otherwise very enjoyable to stay at. You can walk to the lake from here but we didn’t discover it till we were leaving.
