Relaxing.
Great stay. Property is exactly as listed. Small mix-up at check in time that was immediately resolved by host. The lake is quiet and we made excellent use of the kayaks/rowboat. Would definitely return.

Family vacation
What a beautiful lake and so peaceful. If your looking for a fun little get away this is it. The place was just adorable and the view was amazing. Kayaking, fishing and a beach area you can kayak to right across the way for swimming or me and my family played around with the volleyball. We ended our nights with a fire and enjoying the beautiful view.
