This property is beautiful with a lot to offer! My large family had plenty of space. Home was stocked with all necessities and host was very reasonable. Home is exactly as pictured and has activities for the whole family to enjoy. This vacation did not disappoint and we would certainly book again.

The house was clean and beautiful with a lot of fun inside. Outside, the canoe and kayak with life vests were much appreciated. The water at the dock was not fit for swimming but we used the pool daily, and it was perfect.
