This property provides amazing accommodations in a beautiful and peaceful location. We loved having access to the canoe and kayak and the host was very helpful answering our questions. A boat is necessary to access this property and one should make sure they have the host lead them out so they're aware of the best path to take to avoid rocks and shallow areas in the water. Once you've arrived, a relaxing and memorable vacation is guaranteed.
