Wonderful experience, the property is beautiful and as advertised. Kids loved the bunkie (aka “Kids Club”) and the vintage arcade game was a hit (with some new high scores added). Beds were the most comfortable we have experienced in other trips. With a young family, having all the amenities included was a life saver. The lake was refreshing and fun time for all.

Everything was as stated and as pictured. We enjoyed the close proximity to the water and the boys enjoyed the games in the room. We had trouble getting enough hot water to have a quick shower after the first day but just opted for a quick lake wash instead.

Clean and cozy

Enjoyed a relaxing weekend. Everything true to listing. Friendly and prompt responses from the owners. Calm and beautiful location. Only cons were a small step between the kitchen and bedrooms resulted in a few toe injuries, and you're expected to clean despite the cleaning fee. Overall a great experience with lovely people.

Too hot to handle

Unfortunately the air conditioning was not sufficient and we ended our trip early. The bbq grills were too rusty to cook on.
