Beautiful property, exactly as pictured. Cookies were, indeed delicious. There were 8 of us and plenty of room for everyone. My adult children fished, lots of beautiful birds to watch. We were there for a family wedding and were only 10 minutes away from Tudor House venue. Our hosts were delightful to talk with. If we are ever back this way again, we would definitely stay here again.

Spacious lodging in a beautiful private residential area

This rental consisted of the entire ground level of a beautiful home situated on back waters of a very large lake. In between a wedding rehearsal/dinner one day and the ceremony late afternoon the next, we were able to relax and enjoy the many amenities for multi-generation guests.The the plate of "welcome to our home" cookies were delicious! Thank you!
Drone's view of lower level patio for use by guests. Fished at the end of the back yard (fishing poles provided)
