Summary: Spacious and well-maintained home; gorgeous view of Dayton Lake from both upper & lower decks; plenty of comfy furniture, both indoor and out; well-stocked kitchen (better-supplied than we expected, based on the description). We were fortunate to have great weather to enjoy spending time outside (the only downside of the bright sunshine and heat was a group of very active wasps on the deck, which isn't unusual for September). We easily got to a couple local towns to enjoy the area. We all want to come back!

Summary: A wonderfully restful location with enough beds, linens, and dishware for the whole family. The hill was steep, yes, but the water was refreshing and the boats were fun. There was some traffic noise from 12, but it didn't matter much in the long run.
