"Clean, spacious oasis on the lake, owner is amazing to assit if you ever have any questions. Nice quiet and serene place to relax and enjoy the beautiful scenic lake right outside your patio door. Definitely a new fav spot if mine and my daughter's. Perfect distance from stores. Yet far enough to enjoy sounds of the lake and nature."
