Thank you so much for staying with us! We’re really glad your family enjoyed the swings, boats, and the cove. We’d love to have you all back anytime.
We absolutely loved our time at Little bluegill. We made memories that will last a lifetime. My son loved learning to Kayak on one of the children's kayaks that was available to use. We caught many fish ! House is very nice and spacious. The house had everything we needed. It's a very quite and peaceful location. I already requested to book in the fall!

Thank you so much for the wonderful review! We’re thrilled to hear your family made lifelong memories at Little Bluegill. It’s great knowing your son enjoyed the children’s kayak and that you all caught plenty of fish. We’re glad the house had everything you needed and that the peaceful setting made your stay even better. We’d love to have you back this fall!
We had a great trip with 3 grandkids. 17, 10 and 6. The rental price was reasonable, the property was clean, and well appointed for our use. There was extra cookware and even some random spices and pantry staples that saved me a trip to the Holĺar General. Lots of kayaks and odd boats to play around with. We all learned to kayak and there were several decent life jackets. If you dont tolerate bugs dont go. We had bug spray and so glad we did. There was shade somewhere all day at the lake, so I was able to stay with the littler ones where they wanted to be. We jumped off the dock to swim but there was no ladder so had to climb out the rocky bank every time. Fishing was decent, teen caught 2 keeper catfish. Fire pit was the bomb! The hill to the water was rough with the heat. But when it dried up a little we were able to drive back and forth. Host was qui k to answer all questions. I'd go again!

Thank you so much for staying with us and for sharing such a thoughtful review. We’re glad your family had a great trip and enjoyed the kayaks, cookware, and lake access. We appreciate the note about the bugs and the dock ladder — those are helpful details, and we’re already looking at solutions to make future stays even better.
We’re happy your grandkids had fun fishing and spending time by the water, and we hope to host you all again.
