It's all about the view. And you can't beat this one, let alone be as close to the water as you are. And windows galore to stare out and lose touch with reality. We got along great with the kitchen and were happy to take advantage of the gas bbq. A roaring fire at night thanks to a husband who can build fires, sports on TV for that same husband, and comfy leather couches. But seriously, it's all about the view (and great hiking, good restaurants and a very gracious hostess).
