Reviewed May 31, 2025We loved the spa-like feeling of the bathrooms and the bed setup was perfect for my family of four (king bed in the middle with a twin on each side). The lake-side property is beautiful and made for nice evenings on the back patio. Sunsets are simply gorgeous there. Finally, no BnB is ever fully complete (no matter the location or amenities) without the personality and care shown my the owners/host. Helena and Patrick were simply the best. Curious about us, our travels, and our needs. They were friendly, helpful in recommendations, and just simply fun to be with. I highly recommend this BnB. My family and I are already talking about how we can come back and spend more time with them.
I can’t honestly think of one thing.

One small maintenance issue. The plug in the bathroom tub is a spring loaded sealing mechanism which can on occasions give trouble. In this instance on a number of attempts at placing a reasonable pressure to enabler the spring to respond and raise the plug it was to no avail. Unfortunately the following morning is was not keen to enter the bath tub to have a shower as the water had not emptied from previous evening.
