Great place

Our multigenerational family had a great time at this location. The cabin/cottage suited our needs, lots of bedrooms for all of us, the kitchen well supplied with utensils, etc. and just a good layout for all of us. The beach area was especially good for our younger folks just getting used to beach life. Definitely want to come back next year!

A week at the lake house

Second time staying at this location. For our family, consisting of 2 seniors, 4 adult children and 4 grandkids 3-11 in age, it was great. Everyone had their own bed, the amenities suited our needs. Everyone had fun in the water, great lake for all watersports. And best of all, this year we were treated to front row seats while the Martin Mars water bomber was getting ready for its final journey. Everyone's looking forward to returning next year!
