This house was perfect for our trip with a multi-family group! The house has lake access with beautiful views. There was plenty of room for everyone to hang out spend time together. The kitchen was well equipped if you choose to cook there. The host was wonderful and quick to answer questions. We loved our stay here and would definitely return!
