Nice property. Very convenient to the local wedding we were attending as well as some nice hikes. Lake looked great for a paddle but was a little too chilly. Hope to return sometime in warmer weather.

We had a work project in the area and needed a place to stay for a few weeks. We had a great experience at this house. House was clean and comfortable. Communication before, during, and after the stay was excellent. We will certainly be staying here again if we find our selves working back in the area.
