Just the right setting
The property is clean and spacious with the feel of being secluded, even from the private road entrance you will feel like your away from everything but yet your just a few minutes from it all. My nephew even proposed to his girlfriend from the deck overlooking the lake just down the lane from the house so beautiful!!

Quiet Location
Great, quiet location. Large home with open floor plan. 2 large bathrooms. Master shower doesn’t drain well. Tons of outdoor and indoor seating. Wish the lookout had stairs down to water. Highly suggest getting the exterior treated for pests. Spider haven. Definitely recommend for large families.

Perfect Girl's weekend!
The property was great! Scenic overlook down the road, clean, updated, comfortable beds, open floor plan and nice outdoor spaces. Wonderful that there are bikes and beach chairs to use to get around! Would definitely go back!

The place was perfect for my husband and I and my daughter and son-in-law and 3 grandkids. There was plenty of room and it was very clean. Probably one of the best stocked places we've ever stayed at. I only wished it hadn't rained because we would have liked to sit outside more but everything was so wet. It was close to the beach with the overlook at the end of the street that we took advantage of for the sunset. Wish we had more time to enjoy it all longer. Bridget was a great host and we will rent from her again.
