Nov 23, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy It was a perfect location for a girls’ weekend. The setting was beautiful, right next to the lake, and the house was nice and cosy. It had everything we needed. We enjoyed the sunset views and the refreshing dip in the lake. ##### Loren P.
