Second time even better than the first. While last year's stay was great, this year was even better. The weather was HOT but the cool breeze off the lake made everything pleasurable as we fished, kayaked, swam and watched the wildlife.

This was everything it reports to be. A wonderful property on the edge of a good lake for gentle boating. We wanted for nothing! The check in process is easy, the host provided for so many little needs, and the peace was wonderful. I enjoyed short walks on the trails, paddle boarding and peddle boating around the lake, relaxing in the sunshine both on the porch and on the couch, and sleeping in comfort. I will happily happily return!

Pre-Season Serenity

Having booked our time here for about a week prior to lake-season start, most days we felt we were utterly alone, surrounded by peace, nature, and privacy in this beautiful space.My husband fished, my daughter kayaked, and I fell in the lake. Great rest and great fun.
