Very clean, nice lake house
Myself and 4 other ladies stayed here for two nights. The house was very clean and well kept. Everything was exactly what you would expect after reading the listing. The owners responded quickly to any questions we had and were friendly. The sunrise over the lake was beautiful. We will definitely consider booking again.
