We stayed at the property for a end of summer boating trip and the place was super clean there was plenty of parking in the driveway comfortable accomodations.it was super nice.I was disapointed that the boat dock was taken out before we arrived but i learned a lesson on that and it will not deter me fron staying again at all.this was the best vacation rental i have been to.highly reccomend to anyone

House was as advertised. Loved sitting on deck to watch the swans in the morning. Great having a grill and two kayaks on property. Kitchen was well stocked, great kitchen table to play games at. The only thing that I might say was a downside was the upstairs bedroom with the queen and bunks did not have a door (as pictured).
