Summer Vacation 2023
The property was very nice. Plenty of space for our family. We really enjoyed having the option of the pool and hot tub. The boat dock area was great, a lot of space to hang out and enjoy the water, Kayaks, and boards.
The outdoor furniture was pretty beat up.
The walk to the water was long and had steep hills, a walkway would have been nice.
Overall, it was a great vacation.
