Lakeside camp with up to date amenities. Camp was clean and and comfortable. Kids enjoyed swimming and paddle boards every day. One of the nicer camps in the neighborhood. We stayed during the week and neighborhood was surprisingly quiet. Lots of little details provided by the hosts made this trip fun and easy.

Decent Place

It is very nice having a place on the water — the view is great and neighborhood was quiet. The house is decorated well and was comfortable for our short stay. Unfortunately, it did smell like cigarette smoke when we arrived and the toilet seat is broken.

Good place to stay for a weekend with family

Cottage wasn’t much to look at from the road but was very clean and updated inside. The road to the cottage was pretty rough. The beds were comfortable and clean. The view of the small lake was very peaceful. Overall a good stay.

Great area

Great weekend get away. My boys had baseball and basketball tournaments and instead of a hotel we stayed here. They were able to fish in between games and have a bonfire at night and hang out. The neighbors were super friendly and helpful too.

Clean updated home!

A very cute place for a weekend stay. I loved the updated look and the non-toxic products in the home. My favorite was the doTERRA essential oils with a diffuser! We would love to come back in the summer when we can enjoy the lake.
