Family Getaway
Our group loved the 5 large bedrooms and roomy open plan living space on the main floor. The kitchen was well equipped. The lake was beautiful. The dock and lift worked well for our pontoon boat. The kids loved the shallow sandy bottomed swimming right behind the house. The neighborhood was great: well kept, friendly, and not crowded. The exterior deck area was roomy. However, we needed to sweep the exterior walls, ceiling, and deck as well as wipe down the furniture before using it. The spider webs and bugs were thick. A good power washing and spray for spiders would greatly improve this area.
