We Hope to Return! An amazing home, the views never got old. We enjoyed the backyard every day of our stay playing corn hole or enjoying our morning coffee. I’d encourage others to stay here as it’s located near many restaurants, grocery stores, parks, and rental shops.

Amazing View!!! The location of the house was great! Close to great restaurants but the view is what made it amazing! Right on the lake looking towards the mountains. We spent a lot of time on the patio just taking it all in! Jesse & her team were great at communicating whenever we had a question about the house or recommendations of restaurants! We will definitely be back
