"What a well-appointed, clean, comfortable respite with amazing lake views and a responsive host! Wish it were closer so we could visit more often. I had a bit of trouble with the digital lock system, but the host answered quickly and helped me. Clearly it was a user problem. : ). Loved sitting on the porch in the morning, and that I could enjoy the lake view from the loveseat while watching hours of baseball with my husband. Very close to Florence where we enjoyed the Rosenbaum home and two dinners from nearby The Woods. K-cups, water bottles, and anything else we might have needed was at our fingertips."
