We had the nicest weekend here. The home was beautiful and the owners are so thoughtful. From extra seating for the dock, to recommendations to local attractions, to fully stocked coffee selections, there isn't anything they didn't think of. The property is well kept and in a quiet neighborhood and perfect for a relaxing getaway by the lake. Thank you Laurie and Mark for a great weekend! We'd love to come back.

Loved our stay!

We were so happy with everything that this place has to offer, it was a perfect fit for our vacation and the owners are very accomodating. We highly recommend it for a relaxing stay away from the hustle and bustle of the coast. Sitting on the dock in the evening and enjoying nature was a perfect way to end the day.
