This property was in the ideal location, a few steps to the lake. The back deck got lots of use in the am and lovely sunsets in the evening. The bedrooms were roomy and had everything we needed. My only complaint is the Master bedroom in in the basement and had a little basement smell. I had to go up and down the stairs a lot and I'm a little on the older side, and would rather been on the main floor. Other than that we had a fantastic time. It was me and my husband, my grown son and his girlfriend, and my aunt/best friend. Everyone was happy.
