Summary: Can’t say enough good things about this house, the views, and the host family Bill and Ann Marie! The power went out because of storms in the area and Bill and Ann Marie had us up and running with a generator the same day! Anyone in the area looking for a getaway with a cool lake breeze should consider this place! Play on the lawn, grill on the deck, bathe in the lake!

Summary: Wonderful home right on the lake. The weather was perfect, so we were able to enjoy watching the sunset every night in the gazebo. Location was great and we were short driving distance away from different beaches. We were able to enjoy jet skiing, ziplines, minature golf, hiking, etc. A great vacation. The owners were very quick to respond to our questions.
