The kids and my husband and I all very much enjoyed our stay. We brought our knuckle-headed dog who was thrilled to be in the country but ended up ruining it for herself when she barked at the hosts and the other guests so then had to be inside or on a leash. Next time we will probably board her. The 3 rental cabins are close to each other but we never felt too close to our neighbors. The kids loved jumping off the dock of the main house and the floating deck outside the main house where the host lives, and the hosts didn't seem to mind. We also took the boat out fishing and actually had some luck catching fish right off our own dock! Our youngest, a boy, loved that there's a "forest" with a tree house that he was eager to explore and play make-believe, while the older girls loved sun bathing and swimming. There are 4 beds and 4 bedrooms!!! And the bathroom is nice, hot showers were great. The kitchen was sufficient, we grilled out most nights and the one rainy night we made spaghetti. Don't forget charcoal, lighter fluid, and water! We stopped in Hayward on the way in for groceries, and there's a small store in Winter as well. Don't forget long sleeves, the mornings and evenings are chilly, even in the middle of summer! Such a nice reprieve from the sauna that is Iowa summer. Will definitely be back!
