Summary: All eighteen of us had a great time! The home was beautiful, clean and very well stocked. The lake was perfect for swimming, kayaking and paddle boarding. Great views from the house. We had lots of fun bonfires. Brooke was a wonderful host; she quickly addressed our questions after we arrived. I would definitely consider this location for a future stay.
