We had a wonderful time together at this beautiful lake home in the mountains. We enjoyed meals together, spent time down by the lake, and even did some hiking in the nearby State Park. There are also some trails within the community to explore. From the house you can see mountains and lovely forest greenery but unfortunately, we could not see the lake as its quite a ways down and obscured by trees. Access to the lake from the house is by a well-kept but quite steep path. Proper footwear recommended. The recreational area by the lake is a pristine forest, shaded by thick tree cover. The beach itself is muddy and slick, and there is no available dock, but the area is beautiful and easy to explore by kayak. The home is comfortable and practical for a group of our size. We took the trash away as instructed but were unable to locate the community center so had to drive home with garbage in the back of the car. I would recommend better information as to what to do with the garbage to improve the experience.
