Beautiful lake house!

We enjoyed our stay at this lake house. It is quiet and secluded. The check in and out process was quick and easy. The house was clean and beautifully decorated. It looked exactly like the pictures.The owner/ manager checked to make sure we found it and were able to check in. He also contacted us after we left to make sure we enjoyed our stay. We would recommend this house to our friends.
