Gorgeous sunsets
Homey and comfortable- the house had everything we needed with a nice, large kitchen. Everything was exactly as pictured. Right on the water with so much outdoor space! We had plenty of space to spread out inside-and the bar area and game room was a fun bonus. The sunsets were gorgeous and we enjoyed watching the eagles fly overhead. Close to shopping and restaurants. Would rent again!

Beautiful!
The house and views are stunning. This is the perfect getaway. I especially loved the bird watching from the deck. Truly felt like a home away from home. The house is beautifully decorated and the appliances are top notch. Well located near a lot of shops and restaurants.

A little peace of heaven
This home was beautiful and comforting to stay at. There is a beautiful lake front with a breathtaking golden hour. There were opportunities to go kayaking in the lake or if you have a jet ski, there was nothing but space to frolic. We chose to stay at this location because we were in town for a Navy Graduation. The base was about 30-40 minutes away(If you don't mind driving). There was an abundance of food already available for guests who may have had to check in late and didn't get a chance to go food shopping. Overall, I would recommend this place and I would also stay here again, if I'm ever in the area.
