Quiet little getaway. Great for fishing with the little ones.
Enjoyed our stay and only potential issue was some minor cosmetic repairs that were in the process of being resolved by property manager. Communication was great and we had a quality trip destined for the family scrapbook. We would gladly return for another trip and enjoy a cup of coffee lakeside (there is a bench) or even catch some more fish out of the lake.
