The first thing that struck us was how quiet it was. We live in a pretty rural and quiet place ourselves, but this was a new level of quiet. No lawn mowers or noisy trucks going by. The air was fresh as could be. If you are a bottled water drinker, leave it home. The well water was amazing! Aside from that, the house was spacious, the beds comfortable, and the bathrooms also had plenty of space. The short walk to Loon Lake was very pleasant. We didn't take the kayaks out, but went out in the canoe a couple of times. I saw and heard the loons calling several times. A Barred Owl could be heard at night. All in all we had a great 10-day stay.
