This home is one of the most beautiful and peaceful places you could ever stay!!! Our son and his high school sweetheart were married at The Springs in Alvarado and it was a crazy week! This house was our retreat! We woke up to the most gorgeous and serene lake views right out of a movie! The fall leaves, beautiful yard, big relaxing porch to sit on every morning and evening were our sanity savers. We even built a fire in the porch fireplace one chilly evening and had the best time! There were close neighbors but we never heard or saw anyone. The house is big and spacious and you can enjoy fixing and eating a meal in a wide open area with again…an amazing view of the lake just a few yards away! The kitchen was well stocked with anything you could ever need and a beautiful long wood table with plenty of seating for everyone! The beds were comfy, and there was a laundry room with anything you needed to get ready for the day or big event like a wedding.The groomsmen stayed in the house with us and it was the perfect entertainment environment for them. Air hockey, pool, several large screen TV’s to watch football, and the big covered porch all made for a very nice week for these guys. Usually when a house says it sleeps 13, you are living on top of each other. Inside and out, we NEVER felt crowded at all. We absolutely loved this house and hope to return when we don’t have such a busy schedule and can enjoy the canoes and serenity to the fullest!Thank you to our hosts who opened their hearts and homes to us! They reached out several times and made sure we were comfortable and having a great experience! We have traveled thru Europe and the USA and this house will remain at the top of our list with many sweet memory making moments tied to it!♥️
