Great spot for a lake getaway
This is a spacious home located on a scenic section of the Elk River. Guests may want to be aware that the road in to the property is rural and may not be suitable for all vehicles. Also the driveway is steep, so it's probably not ideal for those with elderly or limited mobility guests. Overall, an excellent place to unwind in a quiet and scenic waterfront environment. Also, it's a little ways out of town, so be sure to bring what you need with you as stores and restaurants are a few miles away. The hosts are great and the property is very well maintained and comfortable.

Great house. Great lication. Great property manager!
We loved the location! We were right on the water. Nothing more peaceful than watching the sun come up over the water with that first cup of coffee! The house was perfect for our family. Cecile is the best property manager!
