The hosts are fantastic to work with, the house is cozy and not too far from town if you want to go in and explore. We have stayed in the winter time, so didn’t get to enjoy the lakes but even in the wi get, the view is beautiful! The bathroom is big and it has 2 nice sized bedrooms and an excellent massage chair. If you want a nice getaway where you can be comfortable and cook your own meals. Don’t pass up this property and these hosts! ##### Kalah E.

The place was just right for what we were looking for and the views were breathtaking. It was a very quiet area so we were able to relax at the end of each day. Thanks so much for making our trip so memorable. ##### Walter T. Stayed 5 nights in May 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Casey P.
