Perfect Stay!
We had a wonderful stay at Nautical Nook! The house is updated and beautiful, has many upgrades, a well-appointed kitchen and is very family friendly. The owners left us a welcome basket with fun items that jump-started our stay and the main living area is spacious and comfortable, perfect to enjoy time with our friends. We also LOVED the scent of the home. Very resort-like.We really appreciated how well the property is taken care of and the generosity of the homeowners in permitting renters to use items like bikes, kayaks and outdoor toys. The firepit was stocked with wood, so it was nice not having to find somewhere to purchase it! This was the best stocked kitchen we've stayed in and had a lot of extras in case you forgot something.The views from the deck and hot tub are lovely and we enjoyed sitting outside together socializing, playing games, and watching our kiddos play in the lake and kayak. Our boys loved kayaking, the bunk room and the basement, which had fun games like shuffle board, darts, and an arcade machine. We had a loving relaxing weekend together with our friends and would absolutely return. My one regret was not renting the pontoon. The weather leading into the weekend for us looked cold and overcast, so we didn't rent it. The weekend ended up being beautiful and it would have been so nice to have had the pontoon boat. We won't make that same mistake again:-) Rent the boat:-)Thanks for a fantastic Memorial Day Weekend!
