Cozy Lakeview Carriage House – Your Perfect Vacation Escape!!!

8/10 Good

"Rating Details: The property manager was more than helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was more than happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: The house was well appointed and charming. Our group had two couples and two kids and the space was perfect. The yard was lovely and we enjoyed several nights sitting outdoors.If we have to be a little nit picky, it would be nice if the outdoor table was designated for the carriage house as the big house has multiple other outdoor seating areas and there was some uncertainty over who could use it.Also the beach is not easily accessible. It is not a long walk, but there it did involve young children walking in the road. The path down is steep. Once down, though, the platform on the beach is wonderful. We brought drinks and watched the kids stone hunt.Overall we hope to return."
