Summary: Clean, quiet and inviting space, convenient to plenty of things to do in the area; very comfortable and well-stocked with the basics. Was perfect for our family of 3 and our dog. Pretty view of the lake while enjoying your morning coffee! Especially loved walking up and visiting the adorable little fuzzy bulls in the neighboring yard.
