"The place was nice. Was a little pricey but it was on the lake with a dock and ramp. The house was perfect for my family of 4. Golf cart came in handy with having to get down to the lake. The drive way to the dock was a little steep and narrow but overall was pleased with our stay. We really enjoyed it. Would have like to have had enough towels/wash cloths for 2 nights but it was fine. Just washed them nightly. We would stay again."
