Had a great time

My husband, our 3 kids and myself stayed over the 4th of July and had a great time! The lake is very nice, the other people around seem very kind and the owners were very nice and helpful with suggestions of events in the area. The spiral staircase was a little scary with our youngest, but other than that the place was perfect for us.

Peaceful and private

Loved this place. And want to stay again next year. Better deal than a resort and have privacy of your own dock. Huge yard. Amenities were perfect. And getting a hold of the owner was easy and simple. Owner replied right away.
