A clean, great place for a quiet get-a-way. Launching a kayak would be a challenge from the small dock down the steps, but the marina is 15 minutes on the other side of the lake. Check out time is 11:00 a.m. and not the 4:00 p.m. on the website. I never did see where the firewood was. But on the whole, a nice, clean, quiet, up-to-date venue.
