Take turns hopping from the pool before heading to the deck where your group can play ping (or beer) pong, grill on the barbecue, and dine al fresco under string lights.

The one from the bathtub is the best in the house–there's no better place to unwind after a day on the lake. Cheers!

Gorgeous view! Great amenities and pool is fantastic. Description is accurate, just keep in mind there is only 1 shower/full bathroom on the second floor, and it’s been shared with the 3 rooms. And one toilet I the second room, other full bathroom is outside. Just consider that for your accommodation. Also there is no walking road to the lake through the house. If you keep that in mind, you are gonna do okay. It’s a beautiful place and you’ll have a beautiful time
