We had a great time. The property was wonderful. My father has a bit of a tough time getting around anymore but this entire property was easy and safe for him to navigate as he pleased. The dock and the boathouse were very comfortable even in the snow. we had a great week catching some fish and relaxing on the dock and the porch. Thank you Donny for having us.

We totally forgot about the hot tub until the last day, so nothing to report there. We mainly wanted to use this place as was about the halfway point home from returning from our condo in PCB. We wanted to try the fishing and even though we did not have a boat, we caught crappie and bluegill to give us a few fish fries. This will be our go to place should we want to stop for more than a day in the future.

The proximity to the lake was CLOSE and easily accessible. A flat and gentle walk from the back porch to the covered dock and boat house. The hot tub was hot and clean, and private with a lake view.
My favorite spot, the porch swing on the dock.

The property has great views and direct access to to the river. Early January was mostly vacant which was peaceful and relaxing, exactly what we wanted. Hot tub needs lots of maintenance, only 20 of the 42 jets were working and the control panel was unreadable. The owner said that repair was scheduled. No dining table and only 3 stools at the bar. The deck, firepit, and boathouse were very nice.
