Nautical lakeview home with boat launch across the street from your rental home.

8/10 Good
"Great lakeview location! We enjoyed the lake views from the large windows and outdoor patio space. The car classic show drove right by the house the week we were there! Fun watching cars from the comfort of the patio. Our toddler and preschool grandchildren enjoyed the large yard and corner lot. Upstairs bathroom is updated with a beautiful tile shower. Host was attentive and available to communicate anytime we reached out throughout the week. Loved walking to the local ice cream shop."
