Great Place

It was a great relaxing stay. Everything we needed was supplied. Wet station (bar) was between living room and rec room. Had everything for coffee, refrigerator that we made the drink fridge and used the cabinet/countertop the snack station.Location within hour drive of quite a few places to see and go.House layout was not what I expected, but I liked it better in person. Awesome view of the lake, a lot of wildlife to see. Fishing was not so good, but could be the time of year.I would recommend the property to anyone for the view, location and the Host. Thank you Nate!
