Great Experience

First thing we noticed is how clean the place is. The cabin layout and lot are both incredibly efficient for the size. It's nice that everything is relatively flat even down to the water. Lake would be great for kids as you can walk out probably 100 yards without getting your shorts wet. Parking is sufficient but a little tight if you have a full-size vehicle, so we just backed down the driveway.
