The place was beautiful, wish we could had gone kayaking but to cold.Much peace, enjoyed the fire pit and the grounds were emaciate. Thinking of trying to set up a summer vacation with some friends and stay for at least a week. And the wife and kids loved the hot tub.

Beautiful home, location is perfect. We spent the majority of our time on the dock and in the water. We had a blast fishing!

Fun and Relaxing
The property was everything they stated and more!! The kitchen had everything you could have imagined to prepare meals with along with the gas grill outside. There was a good assortment of games to play and we did play some of them. The outside is very well maintained and there are kayaks there to use so you don’t have to rent them. A 15 minute ride will get you to several different area attractions which makes it a great location. We have absolutely no complaints with this VRBO.
