The lake house was exactly as described. There was plenty of inside living space to accommodate our group of 7, and the outdoor space was lovely as well.The house was stocked with everything we needed for the weekend.

Great place on the lake
Beautiful location right on the lake. It was great to make use of the paddle boards and fire pit. The kitchen was well stocked and the outdoor grill worked well for us. Comfortable beds and bedrooms.
