What a beautiful property! Amazing amenities and I think we used them all: Pickle ball, volley ball, fire pit, lake, kayaks, paddle board, in and outdoor tables and chairs, poker table, ping pong and fuseball for the rainy days. Super close to anything in Baxter so don't worry about having everything you need ahead of time, you are so close to ANYTHING! Truly wonderful spot.

Overall stay was good. We really enjoyed the pickleball court, the space of the cabin and the privacy of the yard. Loved having ping pong tournaments in the basement at night. Great communication with the host. A bit disappointed with the shape of the pontoon and hot tub so we didn’t use them.

Lots to do…

Multigenerational group enjoyed Pickleball, hot tub, biking, kayaking, and jet ski skiing. The host was very much on top of things and communicated well. The weedy lake was a challenge at times to maneuver in.
