Relaxing getaway

This was a great place to stay for our fishing trip to Rend Lake. The weather and the fish didn’t cooperate as much as we would have liked but the house was better than expected! Very clean and in a nice location. The garage was a huge bonus!

The property was perfect. The house is spacious and comfortable. The large yard in a rural street is ideal for pets and our Vizsla loved running around and exploring the yard. Rend lake is vey close and a beautiful recreational area to explore.
