Best possible outcome! My family has all different needs and likes and this home met them all! Everything in the photos is accurate, we had a blast on the canoe and kayaks and the boys were up all night playing Golden Tee! What a fun weekend we had! We had 12 people staying and it never once felt crowded. The large dining table sat us all snuggly but that was no problem, we were thankful to be able to be together for meal time. The kitchen had everything we needed and more! Great setup great location and great owners. They love and care for the property and its obvious it was so homey and cozy! Thank you thank you thank you for sharing your home for others to enjoy. We saw deer and turtles and weather permitted so we enjoyed a bonfire on saturday evening it was a blast. Highly recommend for a family get away!
