Love this place, we’ve stayed here repeatedly for years and it simply gorgeous! Had a little trouble with the kayak rental though. There wasn’t an attendant or anyone to help with getting the kayaks in or out of the water. Sliced up my toe pretty good trying to drag the damn things out of the water. Luckily there were some other guests to help!
