Beautiful property
We had a great time at this house. It was very clean and Sean and Allison were very friendly and accommodating. This place is fantastic. Kids loved the backyard and the fire pit.

Heatwave Holiday!
This is a very beautiful property and the interior design is gorgeous. The only reason we can't give it 5 stars is that the deck and dock need much repair. Screen doors in the primary bedroom and living area would help cool the cabin. It was a wonderful little get away!
