Our family stay here for a week in September. This house is absolutely wonderful in many ways. It is in a great location -- being near Excelsior (trolley ice cream cart, restaurants, library and coffee shops). We rented a pontoon boat from a local Marina several days while staying here. We enjoyed the kayak that came with the rental and paddled the little inlets near the house. On arrival the house was sparkling clean and Laura answered questions we had promptly. The house itself was beautiful and thoughtfully remodeled. Sometimes I just sat and watched the lake, whether inside the house or on one of the chairs on the dock -- isn't that what vacation is all about!? We would love to stay again, thank you for having us!
