Beautiful home on the water.

It was excellent, beautiful and quiet. The house has a few areas that need "finishing", but didn't take away from the beauty! Would stay again.

Absolutely beautiful

I stayed here with my parents who are 76 years old, my toddler son and my husband and what a beautiful stay it was. The house itself was very clean, the views from the home were breathtaking and the access to the lake from the house was so lovely. We all thoroughly enjoyed our stay and are already planning our next trip and hope to stay at this home.
