Had a great time at this property with the kids and dogs !!! Even though it is on a busier road , the backside of the lot is open lawn , quiet and serene ! Great place to sit and enjoy nature , sit on the dock and have the dogs run !!! The home was very homey and had everything we needed for our stay !!!

Better than expected

This cabin rocks! The photos do not it justice, it is a beautiful space and I don’t even remember a tiki bar in the pictures or the fire pit! Due be careful with the stairs and not all the windows have blinds. We stayed while it was foggy but just something to note. One thing with the fire is there wasn’t a hatchet so bring your own. Loved my stay. Super super comfy.
