Ginny is a wonderful host. She responded immediately to any questions we had. She ensured my family had everything we needed, including local coffee, a bottle of wine, a gift basket, and doggie treats. The home is beautiful, comfortable, and well laid out. We had a great family reunion. Thank you so much, Ginny!

Our family of 5 (2 adults, 3 kids) and dog stayed for a long weekend and everything was perfect! Ginny has thought of everything you need and some things handy in case you forget anything. The welcome basket and treats (even a bottle of wine!) were very appreciated. The property has a little “beach” that my kids enjoyed daily, along with the kayaks, paddle boards, hot tub, etc. We rented a boat from across the lake for a day, visited the winery down the street, and enjoyed all of the games provided! The property sits on a mostly quiet area of the lake and it was very peaceful. We also met the neighbors and they were extremely friendly! It felt like a slice of heaven and we can’t wait to come back!
