Thanksgiving Crew 2024

We had an AMAZING time with Family and Friends! This home is wonderful and has great views. If you're a fisher you will be thrilled. If you enjoy sipping on coffee, tea, or whatever, you'll enjoy the back porch. I can't say enough about Dennis, he is extremely welcoming. Our experience was a 10 out of 10.

Beuatiful location

The lake, that was right out our back door, was beautiful and so peaceful. The house was cozy, comfortable and just darling. Golf course was well kept and beautiful as well. Dennis was very accommodating as was his wife, they were very informative and friendly. We had all the privacy we desired and will certainly return when time and life allows.
