Excellent base for family reunion of 3 generations (9 adults, 7 children). Plenty of space to spread out. Kitchen was well stocked with anything we needed, the pool and air hockey tables were much appreciated and the dock/swimming area was great. We rented a pontoon boat for the week and the dock was sturdy. This was the first time we’ve rented a place without bedding and towels included and it was a bit of a hassle to bring our own, but wouldn’t stop us from renting again. All in all, a great week and we’re grateful for the memories!
