Drew was great to work with and the house was clean, relaxing, and amazing. It was right on the water and there were many amenities. I would recommend this rental to anyone staying in Cedar Lake.

Beautiful Place

Exactly as pictured. The only reason we rated it a 4 was it feels very intrusive here. They're are cameras everywhere and the ownders house is connected. . It's just odd to have to share the whole middle section. had no problems but i feel like if another family was over there it would have been super awkward. So like i said it was and is a great place if you dint mind sharing space and being monitored with cameras all over.
