"This was the ideal home and setting for our needs. Huge yard right across from the lake - kids could go feed the ducks, fishing for those sports person and just beautiful spot to sit on the huge decks and enjoy everything. Lots of parking and gated yard for a feeling of security. The kitchen was ideal for us - loved the gas stove and roomy refrigerator.

Owner quickly responded to any questions clearly communicated expectations and understood ours. Great weekend!!"
