Views and quiet and calm are indescribable. We had an amazing time, no issues. The "game room" really is just a pool table and a air hockey table, we never used. Location is right near the ferry to Washington Island, Charlies Smoke House, just a quick drive to sister bay, but we loved how peaceful and away from everyone it was. Stars were amazing ,sun sets incredible, Pelicans are cool to see as well.
