Lake living is a luxury and we appreciate Roy so much for opening his gorgeous home to us. Roy was very communicative if there was anything we needed during our month stay. This property is the closest you can be to town on Island Lake but you don't even need to go there are restaurants and market right across the main road. Thank you Roy, we are back next year! ##### Kathy P.
