"My family & I travel a lot & heave experienced all kinds of accommodations. This property (A Summer Place) was by far the most amazing, relaxing, unique, & memorable. It felt like the vacation home we’ve always wanted, not just a rental. It was hard leaving every morning to venture into town for sight seeing… & we looked forward to getting back home to enjoy our family time there every time we did. The views… by far better than the pictures! It’s literally surrounded by the scenic lake from every angle.
