Lake Life Family Reunion
We had a delightful week at this property for our family reunion. It was able to accommodate our big group and worked well for all of us including 2 year olds to an almost 80 year old. The host, Brianna, was very responsive and helpful and friendly. We loved sharing food, drinks and conversation out on the large balcony with a great view of the lake and the sunset. The living room was spacious and comfortable. The kitchen peninsula and dining room table made eating meals easy. We enjoyed kayaking on the lake everyday. Easy drive to city center including grocery store.
