Had a fantastic 4 days here in Jan 24. Nothing was too much trouble for the hosts. The hosts were welcoming, the unit was spotless, parking was easy, the view of the lakefront was fantastic. The owners go the extra mile and nothing was a problem. We will definitely stay here again.

Only got to stay 1 night but would have definitely booked more. We loved our stay. The rooms was nice and had everything we needed and more the spa in the room was a huge bonus! Loved it and really enjoyed the soak also the bed was very comfortable with extra blanket and pillow. Right on the lake front and beautiful views also had a lovely lady check us in and show us to our room. I also really enjoyed the biscuits in the room thank you so much for our stay. Highly recommend
