We booked this house for a family wedding weekend, and it lived up to everything listed in the description! The location was very convenient, and the neighborhood was beautiful. The back patio overlooking the lake is where we spent most of our time. The host was incredibly responsive and made sure we were comfortable the whole trip. Would highly recommend, and would book again in a heartbeat!
