This was a really ideal place that suited my needs during my stay. Very cute and cozy. I found out I had family that previously loved in Gilbert's Castle on Indian Lake while I was there too, so it was neat to be so near past of my family history.

Always a quiet plesant stay!

Our family stays here almost one weekend a month. The only time we miss is when we do not get it booked before someone else does. The neighborhood is quiet and having a boat launch across the road his a plus.

Disliked: Cleanliness
Older place, musty odor and the couch was very old and disgusting. Needed to put a blanket on it in order to sit there and didn’t care much for all the ants running around the place. Also, if you want coffee bring your own pot because it’s a 4 cupper and took over 20 minutes to brew!😣
