We enjoyed our trip so much! The house is beautiful and accommodating. We had two kids under two and the house was so well suited for families and even had some baby books & toys available. The lake is breathtaking - highly suggest to renting a pontoon boat and spending a day on the water! Beyond that, the owners who live next door are incredible. Their daughter even babysit our son for an afternoon! We hope to come back soon!
