The place is very clean. It is right on the water which was nice so you can sit outside and listen yo the waves and see the Lake. Lake access is an issue here if you expect to go into the water at the location. There are enough nearby beaches that was not an issue for my family. The cabin is stocked with all the necessary cookware to make dinner for a family. Loved that they provided little extra things to make our visit even better!

Perfect beach vacation

We had a great family vacation at “on the rocks”. Location was great, just north of town with a beautiful lake view. Very clean and lots of little extras - snacks, s'more's, popsicles that the kids loved, coffee and creamer, beach toys and towels, etc. The hosts thought of everything you could need for a home away from home! Thanks for a great stay, we look forward to visiting again!
