"This was an amazing property for our annual girls trip! It had everything we could’ve dreamed: beautiful heated pool, hot tub, fire pit, and view!We spent most of our time on the sun porch and open those windows to enjoy the breezes and Lakeview. The table and chairs there were cozy and perfect for games. Kitchen was incredibly well stocked: cookware, utensils, linens, dishes - it had it all - even crushed ice machine. Beds were comfortable, blankets and pillows were very soft. We appreciated that there were throw blankets too! All agreed this was the best accommodation we’ve ever had. Thank you so much for sharing! We will definitely book again."
