Great location for fishing. Near two boat launches. Can easily launch a small kayak from the property. Nicely decorated home with plenty of room for two. Lovely sunroom with water view. Enjoyed the outdoor deck, especially in the evening. Great location for star gazing. Very peaceful location yet not too far from town.

Great spot

This was a great property. Lovely clean house, great spot on the water with kayaks! The one queen bed was soft, but there was no other place to sleep besides a couch that didn't pull out or a really small futon. If you and the person you are going with are cool to share a bed then this place is perfect.
