First A-Frame home experience.
Loved the coziness of the home, the quiet, views and especially the hot tub. However, if you want a real lake experience this is not it. Very small almost like a pond and a lot of vegetation in it.

So relaxing!!!
What a lovely decorated home!! It was so warming here. My wife, dog and myself enjoyed every aspect of your home along with Melrose and Keystone Heights. People here are all kind and genuine. Such a nice change and to know that this rural America still exists. Brianna all of your little touches to the home are so thoughtful. The sayings hanging on the wall tells us just who you are. We brought our “rocker” chairs and enjoyed sitting on the front porch with coffee in the morning and evenings on the different back patio decks was amazing!! Thank you again for putting together such a nice home to share with others. Scott, Marilyn and Maggie
