Beautiful home
We had a great time. The weather wasn't great. The house is beautiful. We loved being on the lake and my family had a great time. We will definitely will come back again we will do it when it is warmer out the next time. The owner texted me the day we got there to check in with us and to let us know if we needed anything to message him. Fortunately for us the only thing we needed was a power cord for the TV and he ordered one and had sent directly to the house. The house was everything it was advertised to be.

Sisters get away
Thoroughly enjoyed the house and the view for our yearly sisters get away. It totally fit our needs and wants. View and deck were fantastic!! My only criticism is that the kitchen floor was sticky. Not sure why. My suggestion would be an update on kitchen tools and dishes. We didn't do alot of cooking and used paper plate so what was there met our needs but had we wanted to cook up a storm what was there would not be adequate.
