Everything was perfect. The description and photos do no justice. It was beautiful and serene. The the kids fished most of the time. When they weren’t, there were games available to play. We will be back!

Birthday Celebration

Beautiful Place. Well appointed. Lots of room. Will rent again at a different time of year. The wind blows across Lake St. Catherine in late April consistently and made it hard to fish and crab. I never put my boat in the water. :(
