Great Place Great Host

My girlfriends and I had a wonderful time. We especially loved all the amenities that our host supplied, from cooking supplies to all the water toys. Seating might be tight on the inside but outside there tables, chairs and hammocks were plentiful.

This cozy cottage was perfect for our family of four! We enjoyed the outdoors so much. There was plenty of setting outside, a beautiful spot for a fire and it came with paddle boards, kayaks and a paddle boat that we all used and really enjoyed. It is right across from a boat launch so we were able to launch our 21’ boat and take it out to Hamlin Lake. Going through the tunnels were a little tight, but we made it! My kids didn’t want to leave! There was lots of movies and games to choose from too but we spent a lot of time outside. Check in and check out was super easy and our host was amazing! We will definitely be back!
