Lovely, relaxing weekend in a very comfortable home
Our stay was very comfortable in this lovely home. Old style on the outside, but a lovely fresh, open decor n the inside with everything we needed for a real axed weekend. Close and convenient to local shops and very close to lake for all sorts of activities. Hope to visit again.
Great location a couple blocks from the lake, spacious kitchen and living room area. Nice big backyard and lovely back deck. Family and dog friendly for our visiting family members. Kitchen could use an update of cookware and other kitchen tools. Drawers and shelves could use a good cleaning. Shower curtain could be a bit more substantial. A good spray is also recommended.
