"Everything about our long weekend trip with our family was great! The house is very comfortable and has just about everything you might need. The view of the lake, availability of fire wood for camp fires, and kayaks and canoe for enjoying the lake were awesome! Beautiful sunrises and loved seeing lots of nature and wildlife right from the yard. Everything about our visit was pleasant and we hope to go back sometime. Communication from the host was great! Thanks for a great weekend of calm, peace and memories."
