Sep 14, 2021 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### excellent experience We had a wonderful experience with this listing and property owner. It is lovely home and the setting is gorgeous. Furthermore, there is an abundance of things to do in the area besides the lake right on the property and the ice cream shop and putter golf up the street. The water view out most windows is peaceful and relaxing. Definitely a wonderful experience and the owner was welcoming and helpful. ##### Gretchen S.

We were able to celebrate Christmas as a unit for the first time in 21 years! The house was perfect for us and we really enjoyed the gorgeous views of the lake. We had an amazing Christmas gathering!! ##### Meredith D.
