Summary: Superb lake house- very clean & comfortable. Well stocked with everything we needed - even marshmallow roasting tools. SUP's & kayaks received lots of use, great fire pit area for star gazing. We were very happy and all agreed we'll be back next year. We're grateful you are sharing this gem with other families to make precious memories!
