This was a beautiful property, lots of room for everyone, a great view of the lake off the deck, a giant hot tub, and fire pit for smores at night. The beds were all comfortable and the kitchen had everything we needed.

Perfect getaway
We had a wonderful time at this spacious home with a beautiful lawn, gorgeous water views, and easy access to the lake. My teenagers loved having the basement bedroom and family room to themselves, and the rest of us enjoyed the lovely deck, the rooms with water views, and the big family spaces to spread out. It was too cold to swim, but we fished and hung out by the water, explored the close by parks for beautiful waterfall hikes and mini-golf. Altogether a wonderful home and great area for a last minute spring break excursion.
