Relaxing Getaway

This property is absolutely amazing. The views, beds, furniture, hot tub are all top notch. We stayed during July 4th and the fireworks were awesome to watch on the lake. This was a gaming meet up of friends who have never met each other after 4 years of playing games together everyday. The infinity table was the highlight of the trip, I think we used that the most, playing scrabble and monopoly. Overall it was a very memorable time and we’ll definitely be back.
