Our stay was great. Very accommodating for our group. The kids loved the treehouse. The lake view was incredible. My family loved the dock area so they could fish, they also had a tree swing for the kids to use. It was a very relaxing weekend. The only thing my family didnt like was the grass wasn't mowed, and the outside of the house is overdue to be powerwashed. ##### deanna g.
