We loved this home. 🩷 The location was everything. If you’re familiar with Grayton, this is right where you want to be. The living room had a beautiful view of sunrises on the lake. It was a short easy walking distance to the beach. Easy enough to run home and make some sandwiches and head back down. The pool was perfect and we paid to have it heated. Definitely thankful we did! The house was clean and beautifully done. We truly enjoyed our stay. I feel like this is one of those vacations that can’t be matched. 🌴 The week was magical and we felt so fortunate to stay in this home.
