Summary: We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at this wonderful property. The beds were very comfortable, the kitchen was well equipped and had everything we needed. The view of the lake was second to none and we loved sitting outside watching the loons, geese and bald eagles. The kayaks and the sup board were used daily. The host Lyndy was easy to communicate with and we loved the attention to detail she put into decorating the house. The home baked cookies were a nice touch!
