Why one house works for a wedding weekend
Everyone stays under one roof: a main-floor king with its own bath, a main-floor queen, an upstairs king with a balcony over the lake, and a twin room with two twins and two trundles that sleeps four.
You let yourselves in with a keypad code, so a late return from the reception needs no one to meet you. The kitchen has a gas range, a dishwasher and a coffee maker, and the table seats eight for the morning after.
Good to know
- Parties and events aren't allowed at the house. Quiet hours run from 11 PM to 7 AM.
- Check-in is after 3 PM and checkout by noon.
- Free parking in the carport and the driveway.
- Popular weekends book early, so check dates as soon as you have the invitation.
