A great property in a great setting. The availability of the pontoon boat was a definate plus. There are a lot of stairs which made it harder for the elderly people in our party, but if that is not a concern, everything else met expectations.

Wonderful stay at this property love the fireplace the screened porch having a boat at our feet. Also, the bedroom upstairs had a beautiful view. The Kitchen was well stocked and the bedrooms downstairs were nice for the family members to be together. We would definitely come back and the front yard is gorgeous as well. The walk up the driveway and I loved being able to walk around in the area.

We had the absolute best weekend! Matt and Renae were gracious hosts who communicated everything perfectly before our arrival. The check-in and check-out process was incredibly smooth. It was a picturesque 'up north' getaway, and having the pontoon was such a fantastic bonus for enjoying the spring sunshine. 110% recommend!
