Lovely spot!

We loved staying here! The variety of buildings was perfect—the folks with a kid got a quiet place where they could keep a kid routine, and the rest of us had plenty of space to stay up late without bothering them. The lake is beautiful and right down the stairs. I’d definitely stay here again. One thing to note: when this listing says bring your own towels, they mean ALL the towels—beach towels, bath towels, hand towels for the bathroom, dish towels for the kitchen, etc. This wasn’t a big deal, and Paul was able to scare up one towel per person, which we appreciated, but I wanted to give folks a heads up to pack linens.
