Loved the lake!

My husband and I stayed with our 2 teenagers and my mother in law. We really enjoyed renting a pontoon boat for 2 days of our visit and meet out on the lake. The lake itself was very quiet and the 2 weekdays we were out we saw very few other people. There was plenty of room for our family. Although it is a small rental so you won't exactly have a lot of privacy! The grounds are very sandy, as mentioned in the rental listing so be prepared! I had a couple of questions during the during the stay and leading up to our visit and the owner was always quick to get back with me and answer any of my questions. The closest gas station was out of gas the duration of our trip so it was a bit of a pain the 2nd day when we realized we would need more gas for the boat. Obviously not the owners fault, just an FYI. Otherwise the store had all the basics we needed. Would definitely visit again, thanks!!

Dirty cabin

We didn't even end up staying there. The beds abd the floors were dirty. They had sand, hair, dog hair, and dirt in the beds and sand/dirt on the floors. After we saw all of this we ended up having to find another place to stay. Also based off this listing I wasn't aware the cabins were all so close together. I was very disappointed in this place.

6/10 Okay

The area is beautiful

Wasn't really impressed with our cabin. The floor was dirty, as child was crawling on it. Didn't realize there wasn't heat, so it was very cold at night. The cabin also smelled bad, like someone was smoking in them - although said not too. We would likely go again, but stay in a different cabin for longer than a weekend. I would also make sure to clean it myself, although we pay a cleaning fee when booking?? Not sure what was actually cleaned, but rather picked up and wiped down quick maybe. You could also hear everything going on outside, talking, etc., as if the people were in the cabin with you. Property manager mark was nice. Enjoyed our time on the water. Experience could have been much better.
