Jul 13, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Could not ask for more This is a quaint second floor 2 bedroom unit in a large condo complex with a great lakefront view. Very clean, relative new and well maintained. All of the condo owners we met were seniors just like us. Before we got there, everyone that looked at the picture said it was too far from the water. In reality it was quite the opposite. In the pictures you can't see that there are multiple decks with comfortable chairs on both upper and lower levels. There is a very large lower deck leading to the lake, that provides access to a horseshoe pit, multiple fire pits, grills and chaired lounge areas. There are two long well maintained walkways on each side of the property leading to a very large unlimited access sand beach. We are definitely going to stay here again. ##### George A S.
