    "Dogs welcome but some bad/irresponsible owners letting them run free. One dog always out roaming crossing busy Thompson road. Worry about the little guy. "

    "Extremely enjoy the lake and small beaches that are practically in your backyard, the parks, friendliness of the people who like to fish. I just visited twice and got my son to finally come out and see the lake. He was surprised and enjoyed the view! We hope to move out here by summer. It's as close to the country as we'll get! We're hoping to buy a 3 bd ranch with basement."
