Clean, comfortable and easy. Kitchen was well equipted. Loved the coffee bar, and the gas fireplaces. Very comfortable living room and beds. Minor, but, the bathroom sinks were small. But the shower was great. Very comfortable, quiet and felt very safe there. We sat out several nights enjoying the beautiful sunsets.I would stay here again!Thanks Jenny!

Ultimate Vacation

This was one of our greatest vacations. Beautiful property right on the lake, a private dock. House is good size and super clean. Every need was taken care of. We were there over the 4th of July and truly the best fireworks I’ve ever seen. Very comfortable home, beds were very comfortable. Very nice neighbors! We will definitely return. When we had a question, the property owners response was immediate.

Fireworks. The neighbors put on the best show. The forest Lake fireworks were excellent as well.
