Great visit

The house had a nice mix of lots of character combined with new finishes… very clean with plenty of room. The internet and tvs were great. We used the grill and picnic area several times. It was also a good location relative to where my dad lives and Lake Flower. Really enjoyed our at Camp Shepard.
