The location was absolutely fantastic—peaceful, scenic, and perfect for a relaxing getaway. The home itself was beautiful, thoughtfully decorated, and well stocked with everything we could possibly need.Communication with the host was smooth and easy, which made check-in and planning a breeze.The highlight for the kids (and honestly, the adults too) was fishing off the dock at night—they had an absolute blast!Highly recommend! ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/e28ab33c-7bdc-447b-ba3a-f8e3507ecd1b-1754352856116.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ##### Alison B.
