Adorable!

Amazing view when you step through the front door. Very clean, and quaint. Plenty of room for just what we needed. Just dont forget water shoes as it is a bit rocky and zebra mussles are sharp. Had a wonderful quiet stay enjoyed seeing birds every morning on the water. Definitely recommend!
