Comfortable Beds with individual room temperature settings, beautiful decks and views. There are small green space for pets so you can easily pick up after them - keep on a leash as road is close. Kitchen is stocked GREAT, thank you! Living room furniture with recliners and swivel chairs so cozy. 4 levels in split level footprint; top has 3 bedrooms and 2 baths, one with a tub. Main has living, dining, kitchen, lower has bedroom, 3/4 bath with washer dryer and screen porch, and lowest has room for air hockey, foosball, and sitting area with sectional and tv plus a small twin . So areas for children to separate from the adults, which we loved. Perfect sunset.

Nice Property

The house was in good shape and clean. When we had a minor problem, the property manager was quick to communicate with the owner and address the issue. Location was right on the lake and close to downtown, but was also very close to neighboring properties which were not vacation rentals.
