Beautiful place!
The home was clean and perfectly sized for our 7 person extended family. The kitchen was well supplied for a family that likes to cook. The hosts were communicative and always responded quickly. The neighborhood was quiet and walkable. Great place!!

Girls Weekend
We rented the laughing turtle,to celebrate my sister's 40th birthday. The 7 of us slept very comfortably and had plenty of room for relaxing. Midland isn't too far away,so we went to the Midland mall and did some axe throwing. Doug & Kim's house is beautiful and very clean. I can only imagine how much more peaceful the view will be,once the water returns to the lake.
