5.0 / 5.0
Excellent well equipped property with loads of room inside and out
5.0 / 5.0
Had a very nice relaxing time. Kids enjoyed on the lake, seniors had time relaxing with the beautiful view of the lake. The property is quick to response to any questions we had. We were given a kayak and a canoe and the best thing was the floater Matt ( for someone like me ,who can’t swim!!) . Water is shallow and you can walk a distance in it.
Overall had a great time. Would definitely recommend!!
5.0 / 5.0
Perfect property!
So much to do and so much space to do it in.
We just lacked propane. But otherwise awesome! Will book again!
