Great spot for our family
We were in the area for a wedding and this spot slept our extended family and served as a great gathering place for a few others that were in town. The long enclosed porch fit us all for games and puzzles and we made use of the decks, grill and the kayaks in the cute little lake.

Best ever!
We hosted a wedding rehearsal supper for our son and daughter in law at the property, then our family stayed. There were thoughtful touches of everything a family could need, including firewood at the firepit, disposable 9x13 pans, paper towels, freezer ziplocks for leftovers, tons of towels and washrags, extra sheets....you name it. The kids enjoyed the kayaks and canoes and the large lawn to play on, while the adults dined on the large porch and lawn (large citronella bucket candles were on the porch from the owner). It was hidden away and quiet at night, and the beds were all comfortable. This is a rare jewel of hospitality!! Thank you!

Family reunion
Perfect location for having a group of family members to have a reunion or other celebration. Close to town but far enough to see the stars. Perfect setting. Thank you for a fabulous experience. We even caught fish in the pond!
