"Perfect place for our weekend"

The Lakeside On North Long

10/10 Excellent

"This property was absolutely beautiful. The communication with the host was very good. We needed to text him a couple of things and the response was immediate! The house was very clean and stocked with everything you would ever need. Everything was clearly labeled so there no question what it was used for. From the remotes to all of the light switches. The outside was just as beautiful as the inside. Very nice landscaping and beautiful views. Had a eagle fly by a couple times to tell us hello. If you are looking for a great place to take your family, this is it!!"
