We spent Christmas at the bay house. It’s a great location. The rooms are a little bit small. We did cook a holiday dinner and found the oven and microwave to be a little bit challenging but overall it was a great stay. Very cozy.

Holly’s place was perfect for our friends getaway. It’s a block to the lake but out of the fray on a quiet street. We cooked and hiked during the day, and had comfy beds and cozy rooms at night.
