10/10 Excellent
"From the moment I booked this property, the hostess (Melissa) was very quick to respond to any inquiries I had. This home is truly lovely and the lake view is very nice. The descriptions are accurate. Our group really enjoyed the game room, watching college football, playing pool and shuffleboard. Melissa even shared with us the Aspenfest that was in town on Saturday which we had no idea until then. Overall, a wonderful stay for my crew!"
