Great location

"We were five adults and three kids. Had a great time hanging out at the lake. We fished, canoed, paddle boarded, kayaked. In addition to the beach connected to the house, there is a public beach across the lake which we paddled to. Nice beach and playground there. The house and beach were surprisingly quiet. It’s basically a suburban location, but we still felt we got “away from it all”. House had everything we needed. We used the barbecue and had a campfire every night."
