A wonderful place!

Review submitted: March 19, 2010   Date of arrival: August 1, 2009

This was a wonderful home overlooking the lake for a relaxing family vacation the month of August. The kids found endless things to do, both in and out of the water, and it was a lovely place to entertain friends. It was even close enough to Harvard for my husband to catch the commuter train to Chicago for shortened work weeks.
