Looking Glass Retreat-Exquisite Waterfront Home

RobynRating, 5 stars2 weeks ago

We loved Russell's house! Every year we try to find the perfect MDW house on a river and this was hands down the best one yet. The views and sound of the river was amazing. The amenities were great and just as listed. The house was perfect to entertain adults as well as children, there was always something for everyone to do. I loved the special touch of all the curtains and the ability to feel like you were right on the water with all of the glass but also be able to make the rooms dark and private so you could enjoy your rest. The beds were also very comfy. The kitchen had absolutely everything which was super nice and very convenient. We loved how big and cozy the main room was too. Also, anytime I had a question, Russell would respond within minutes which was awesome. I would highly recommend Russell's house and can't wait to go back!!

The kitchen area features a modern design with natural wood accents and a spacious island. The island is equipped with seating for six. A beige leather sofa is positioned in the foreground, creating a cozy atmosphere while providing a view of the kitchen's stainless steel appliances and organized shelving.
