A wonderful property

When we checked in, the property was immaculate and exactly as the listing described it. The beach at the state park was very nice. There was a cold six-pack waiting in the fridge. Our three generation weekend was everything we had hoped it would be. We really enjoyed the well-stocked coffee bar. We used both grills and were happy to use the secluded and well-lit fire pit in the back. There is plenty of seating both inside and outside. The yard is gorgeous and it was fun to watch the birds and the wild turkeys. With multiple bedrooms this property is ideal for a large family getaway such as we did.
