The property is very nice and me and my sons had a great time fishing. It is obvious that you have put alot of work and pride into the cabin. Great location and perfect pier and waterfront. The cabin was very clean and well-stocked. We would definitely stay here again!

Cabin itself was nice. Stairs up to bedrooms are more like a ladder, was OK for us, but people with range of motion issue would have had problems. Parking was not good for 2 trucks and boat trailers. Mouse traps all over the cabin, and last morning we found mouse droppings on top of the comforter on one bed as we prepared to leave. Power at the dock was in a shed and you need at least 100' extension cord if you are going to plug in your boat for charge.

Good morning. We contract with a pest control company and noticed the issue after your stay. This was the first occurrence we have experienced in the past 2 months of our ownership and apologize for any inconvenience. We have contacted our vendor and they are scheduled to be back out to the property promptly. Unfortunately during this time of year pest control is difficult as we transition to fall and winter. We appreciate your comments and are taking steps to remedy the issue expeditiously. We hope that the rest of your stay was enjoyable and you will consider staying again with us next time.
