Aug 31, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### First morning. Sitting in comfortable chairs, on a massive deck, overlooking a beautiful lake, covered in a low, slow moving mist and thin clouds. As the sun rise above the trees, directly i front of you, the entire world turns pink and red though the disappearing mist over the water. You are only sign of life except the song of the birds. And that's just the first hour. ##### Michael T. Stayed 2 nights in Aug 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Shari J. Aug 22, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy Very clean and quiet. Excellent hosts with great communication and thoughtful offers to make our stay comfortable. ##### Shari J.
