Summary: The house was super cute, everything was bright and very modern. The host definitely made us feel welcome with fresh cucumber water, smores basket, snacks & cold water in the fridge upon arrival. There was a stash of games and puzzles provided that we enjoyed playing at the table on the deck under the lighted gazebo at night. The pontoon boat was perfect. Easily accessible and we had a great time tubing and cruising the lake. The host was very attentive and easy to contact with any questions. I would definitely recommend the hobbit house for a stay on the lake!
