Family Fun!

Love the location and dock! Kids enjoyed yard games, watching birds, picnic and playing on dock; perfect for their first time experience in kayaks. The cabin was comfortable; the master suite awesome. We needed the extra bathroom/shower downstairs as we prepared to participate in family wedding. Hope to stay there again when visiting.

We had a very nice stay. Excellent communication with the property manager as well. I enjoyed the walk down to the dock but for our older guests it was a little more difficult. Great place to stay and glad we picked this lovely cottage!
