Central location. Parking for boat - except you have to back down the driveway - which is fairly normal. Fantastic house. Kitchen is cramped for 2 people. Everything worked perfectly - except for one bathroom door locked. Love Russell. ##### Doug C.

We stayed here with another family. The house was fantastic. As if the views were not enough - it was also very comfortable and has everything you need. The kitchen is well stocked and it makes cooking a breeze. There is also an amazing deck with wonderful views. There is also a BBQ and an outdoor setting so that you can eat outside. The dining room doors fully open out to the deck so there is a lot of room for everyone. I would highly recommend this house and cant wait to go back. ##### Petra F.
