Delightful little cabin on the lake!
We had a great stay. The cabin was just as described. Parking was a little tricky just because the spot numbers aren't in the order you'd expect but we found our spot just fine. Overall a great rental!

Great place to stay
The only issue we had was management failed to send us the instructions which included the code to open door and the complete address. I had to call and wait quite a while to get it all sorted out. We loved the property and it was very convenient to Alexandria.
