Had a wonderful stay with my sister. The condo was very clean and the view from the deck is fantastic and relaxing. Had a question about the thermostat and the owner actually CALLED me to explain its operation. Enjoyed a day on the lake with my son who was staying nearby. Would definitely stay here again and would not hesitate to recommend to others.
