The lake was peaceful and serene with beautiful sunsets everyday. Only a 15 minute drive from the Capitol and Botanic Gardens. The house was better than advertised. We’d totally stay here again for a long weekend. Just the break we needed. ##### Jeffrey H. Stayed 3 nights in Jun 2024 Verified ### 10/10 Excellent #### Lisa A.

The view of the lake is beautiful, and I'm sure it's even better in the warm months. We had everything we needed. Great little house for a long weekend. ##### Lisa A. S.

Happy to see a suitcase stand in each bedroom. Sunsets from the backyard or dock were amazing. It was a short drive to the Capital and the good vibes of that area, especially Saturday's Farmers' Market. It was great to retreat back to the serenity of the lake house and the neighborhood. I've never spent so much time at "the house", but on this trip we made it our intention to take it slow. What a wonderful property to do so! ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/979e2b70-ae45-4f8a-b42e-aed6bf7809e1-1748352494399.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ##### Stacy N.
