Excellent vacation
The check in worked very well. The cottage was very clean and spacious. The cottage accommodated 13 of us (8 adults and 5 children). We used all 3 pull out couches and brought our own blow up mattress. We loved all the water equipment (2 kayaks, 1 paddle board, 1 pedal boat). Also we used the billiards table and ping pong. There are a lot of stairs to the water which we didn’t mind but could be an issue for some people. The cottage is close to Buckhorn. I would definitely recommend Alloro Pizza. One of the best I have ever tasted. The Petroglyphs are nearby and would recommend. The kitchen is well appointed. It did not have a blender and I like to make smoothies. The kitchen table and table on deck are big and was able to accommodate us The cottage comes with bedding except for pull out couches. The water is very weedy but that can’t be helped It is a lovely spot and we would highly recommend
