Summary: We had such a great stay at the lake house! We absolutely LOVED the front porch and spent most of our time hanging out together there when we were not on the dock! Anne was such a great host and has turned the house into such a comfortable and welcoming place … she was also super responsive to everything - we will definitely be back for our next family gathering!
