Fernlea was an absolutely amazing property with views to die for. We loved our week long stay here, walking distance to town and a home with all amenities even a hot tub over looking the lake. majordomo was fabulous to deal with from start to finish. We will be booking again for next year. Thank you for making our QT stay perfect.
