Beautiful location!
The house was plenty big for the 6 of us. The location on the lake made it fun for kayaking. We were central to visiting many tourist destinations. The lighting in the house made it challenging for playing games. The water for the shower was extremely hot!!! Very clean.

Nice, Clean, and very accommodating
Nice clean cabin, lots of pluses with only a couple issues. Parking is tough for a larger group like we had. I would definitely rent this place again. Worked great for 8 guys fishing.
