- Why is the Camden side preferred? For the amazing sunsets, of course!

- Why are lake's coves desirable? Way less noise, less boats, easier swimming, better fishing, more birdlife and quieter, calmer waters. A savvy renters looks for a cove!

Hands down exceeded every expectation. The perfect family get away with young boys under age 10. Enjoyed kayaking, fishing off the dock, making s’mores over the fire pit, eating meals on the porch, and watching the sunset from the rocking chairs. Hoping to make this location an annual spot for family vacations.
