"Booking as very easy. Communication with the host was exceptional. Katie gave recommendations for good restaurants and things to do in the area. The door code was sent just prior to our arrival. The location of the home on the lake was beautiful with amazing sunrises. We used the kayaks and lilly pad floaty. There were plenty of plush towels and the extra blankets were super soft and cozy on cooler nights. Check out was also easy. I would highly recommend this home for an enjoyable family getaway!"
