This spot is beautiful, clean, and just what you need for a camping experience. We stayed in the A-frame cabin, which was lovely! You may want to bring your own bedding and pillows (although they did provide linens, pillows, and blankets), for extra comfort. The staff are super friendly and helpful, and the location is gorgeous! Thanks for a relaxing stay!

We showed up to find that they did not receive our reservation from Expedia. They were booked solid so the owner called other customers who had yet to arrive and Somehow managed to accommodate us in a cabin. Nice little cabin with a water view. Very Quiet location.
