"Great lakeview location! We enjoyed the lake views from the large windows and outdoor patio space. The car classic show drove right by the house the week we were there! Fun watching cars from the comfort of the patio. Our toddler and preschool grandchildren enjoyed the large yard and corner lot. Upstairs bathroom is updated with a beautiful tile shower. Host was attentive and available to communicate anytime we reached out throughout the week. Loved walking to the local ice cream shop."

"We had a wonderful stay! The property was very clean, comfortable, and well stocked with everything we needed. The hot tub was a definite highlight, and we loved relaxing there while enjoying the beautiful lake view. The host was also fantastic-very responsive and quick to answer any questions we had. It was clear that a lot of thought was put into making the stay comfortable and enjoyable. We would definitely stay here again and highly recommend it."
