Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy
Everything was clean and fresh! They manager Allison was on top of everything! They were thoughtful little touches from booking to leaving that made the whole experience comfortable like you were staying with family or friends. Usually water this clear is freezing, but lake was warm and our little cove meant no boats speeding or causing wakes so we enjoyed swimming every day.Negatives - we wish we could have stayed another day or two…..We didn’t lack for anything and hope to return soon
