Christmas Retreat On The Lake

This is a beautiful property located right on the lake. The house was very nicely appointed with a modern layout. When we arrived, there was coffee, chocolate and a bottle of wine waiting for us - thank you for the thoughtfulness! We would definitely stay here again.
Stayed 2 nights in Dec 2019
