This little house is a true hidden gem! The questions I had before our arrival were answered within minutes. We were greeted with a welcome note and a basket of drinks and snacks. Every inch of the house was pristine, well equipped, and inviting. Each bedroom had crisp, clean bedding as well as bottled water. There were towels and toys to take to the lake and enjoy. The bathrooms had to plenty of towels as well as shampoo, conditioner and body wash in the shower. My favorite part of the house was the inviting kitchen. It had a huge dining table with plenty of seating. The kitchen held any and every item one could possibly need to cook every meal. This rental is our favorite place we have ever stayed and we will definitely be returning!
