Great property!

Beautiful location. Nice interior set up, very large living area and a very well supplied kitchen, nice fireplace but had to supply our own firewood. Large deck facing the lake. The two bedrooms with bunks are a bit smaller. Lots of stairs outside. We would certainly return for another stay!
