Summary: Our family really enjoyed this property. My favorite part was sitting on the back deck in the rocking chairs reading my book. The host, Jill, responded very quickly to any of my questions. The kitchen had all the necessities to cook as we cooked most meals. The Weber grill was nice, and right outside the kitchen door. The house was very clean. Both bathrooms were updated and very clean as well. We enjoyed using the kayaks and the solo stove. The beds were very comfortable. The only thing guests should be aware of is that there are a lot of steps. As others have mentioned the lake water is very clear and it is a sandy bottom. They have a lot of board games stocked, so our family enjoyed playing Monopoly and Scrabble. Checking in and out was very easy, we were sent a code a couple days before our arrival date. There is a nice stackable washer and dryer in the home that was very useful. You can tell the owners take pride in the home and and taking care of their guests.
