Great customer service. Quiet. Play equipment onsite which my children loved. Lots of benches to sit and watch the water. Room was a little musty smelling, but resolved once we used the dehumidifier option on the A/C. Disappointed the beach was not swimable ( weeds/not groomed/geese).

Close to town.

Check-in was good. Owner greeted me at the door and came by our unit later to make sure all was well. They didn't have ice so we went into town and as we were going to town anyway, got ice. Close to town - Mattawa. Pleasant view overlooking Earl Lake. Comfortable beds.

Property was quiet/clean. Staff went above and beyond even offered me dinner from her own kitchen ( which I accepted and it was delish) as there was no restaurant on site. Grounds were very nice,

For $125, there should be in room coffee. Remote for tv probably needs a battery. Sanitation truck outside our room spewing out fumes and noise for 3 hours.
