Nice place. Took the grandkids for some Glamping . They loved the pool and lake. Close enough to town to run in for ice cream. Loved the dog Pugley and their son Timothy. We could have taken him home with us. We are definitely going back. Very private location.

The place is nice. The pool was clean and enjoyable. Only thing is the pictures show clear view to the water and the docks but its not like that now. It's all grown up and unable to see. Cutting all the brush back and clearing the paths to the pool and docks would be great. The host was easy to talk to and the camper was nice. Price was a little high but we would stay again. Just clear out all the brush and it would be perfect.

We misunderstood the listing and thought there was a hot tub next to our trailer like the other units. Host was very accommodating to resolve any concerns regarding our misunderstanding and was more than willing to help ensure that our stay was as enjoyable as possible. We were very happy with the location and the quiet lodging area. Great space for families. Beautiful area, great communication from host. Would absolutely stay here again. Would be a cool location to book all 3 units for a family or friend gathering. Just far enough away from town to feel excluded yet close enough to everything for ease of shopping, other activities in the SoIL area.

We enjoyed the natural surroundings alongside comforting accommodations/amenities. Perfect compromise for a family split between preferring camping and resorts! Hosts are very gracious, friendly, and responsive.
