Fun weekend

Had a lot of fun with a large group of friends, private beach was amazing. Only downside was that we did not know this was in the middle of a church camp. Staff was friendly and very helpful! Fun time!

Simple Stay for People to Get Outside

We had a group of friends up to reunite. The house was perfect with areas for gatherings inside and out and beds for everyone. The place definitely reminds you of summer camp, which we enjoyed.
