The property is located in a quiet neighborhood with a beautiful view of the lake from the outdoor patio. The house is older but was like staying in a cozy cottage. The younger adults enjoyed kayaking on the lake, and I enjoyed sitting on the dock and taking in the quiet sounds of nature and the awesome view. The host was very welcoming and responsive and we really loved this pet friendly property. We would definitely stay here again. ##### Margaret C.
