"We fell in love with this little A-frame on the lake the moment we pulled into the driveway. It’s the perfect secluded little spot for a getaway, just you and nature without a care in the world. The house was warm and inviting, the rooms are perfect. The kitchen is fully equipped with anything you might need to cook a meal and stay in for the night.
