Wonderful home in a perfect location! Home had everything including condiments in the frig! Beds were super comfy and every room had a view of the lake. Boat dock/lift made it easy for us to secure our boat and fishing was good. Rented a pontoon one day and toured the entire lake. Enjoyed the kayaks that were provided too. (Only challenge was learning how to use Hulu for TV) Host was very easy to reach when we had questions. Highly recommend.
