Beautiful place with lots of personal touches. Loved the view of the lake, very peaceful. Great communication and easy check in process. Bed was comfortable and bath towels were very nice. Only downside is we couldn’t figure out how to turn the heat off, it was very hot when trying to sleep. Other than that it was a great stay.
I recently stayed at this rental property and my experience was great! The communication from the host was seamless. All of my questioned were answered promptly. The house was well-maintained. The kitchen was fully stocked with all necessary supplies. The outdoor area was well maintained with quiet surroundings which made for a very relaxing time. Highly recommend this property and would stay here again!
