We enjoyed a few days of extended family vacation. It was great to have three bedrooms, a nicely equipped kitchen and a deck with a grill that we used almost every day. Beds were comfortable and the wifi worked without a hitch, specially as one of us were doing some remote work. Washer and dryer were a plus. Our daughter enjoyed kayaking. The lake is more to enjoy with toys than swimming, but it was ok to cool off. Sunsets are amazing!

We absolutely enjoyed our time here. The home was clean and very comfortable. The few complaints we have got dealt with pretty effectively and efficiently. The lake is absolutely gorgeous and we caught lots of fish. We did bring our own jet ski and paddle boards but still used the cabins kids kayaks and paddle boat. It was a peaceful and relaxing stay!
