My sister and I chose this beautifully appointed lake house to stay while celebrating what would have been our mom's 100th birthday. There was absolutely nothing missing from this house...we had everything we needed and then some! The sunsets over the lake and the beautiful fall foliage make the stay perfect!

When we arrived, we were amazed at this hidden gem. The entire place had an inviting vibe, from the bedrooms to the dock. It was beyond comfortable, with several areas to sit and catch up with family. The hosts could not have set this place up any better. We will return next year.
