Had everything we needed with easy access. Perfect environment for a weekend getaway. Having our own private dock made it even better, an overall fantastic experience
Robert was excellent to communicate with even before we arrived to help with what we were packing and bringing. Even during the stay, messaging Robert about the property, he was super responsive. The place was nice to enjoy with entertainment and access to the lake. Beds were super comfortable, clean, and overall a great space. We plan to visit the area again and work with Robert again with the property! Our family friends are really enjoyed it and plan to use this again on their boating escapes too. Dock was wonderful!
