Amazing place for family gatherings and water sports! 10 mins to downtown St Michael and Buffalo. Place is clean and has regular maintenance, all kayaks were in good shape and they have at least 6 of them on the property. They have a boat ramp inside of the property and the lake is fair in size! They have a fire pit big enough to accommodate at least 12-14 people(wood and chairs provided) We had a blast and will consider renting the same place again!!!!
