The house is just the right size with space for small groups to gather. The pool area is well landscaped and provides LOTS of outdoor seating. We loved having the heated pool - evening swimming was beautiful with the lights reflecting off the water with the night sky above. The lake provided opportunities to observe natural activity of ducks, birds, turtles, fish, etc. The kitchen is very well equipped with nearly everything a home kitchen offers, a real plus for those of us who like to cook. It is clear the owners tried to think of everything for an enjoyable stay, right down to a hairdryer in every bathroom and paper products for a lengthy stay. We plan to visit again!
