When driving to the house I got a little nervous and thought maybe my GPS was wrong but trusted the process (as they say) and am glad that I did. The house is beautiful! Clean, open, and quiet- exactly what was needed during the craziness of the end of the year and the holidays. The vibe of the house is neutral and accepting. Beautiful peaceful views great for coffee on the deck in the morning. Host was easy to work with and gracious. Would definitely revisit.

No complaints here. Lovely home with private dock and cove - great for swimming, fishing and just enjoying the water. The home itself is so well stocked, nicely decorated and comfortable. We had eight adults in total and all really enjoyed their stay. Loved the scenic sunroom, kayaks, paddle board, ping pong and fire pit. Lots to do for everyone!!
