August 2023

This place is the perfect set-up for a large group vacation. We had 17 of us friends & family (10 being kids), and we had beds for everyone. The kitchen was very large & nice for all the meals we made. The place was clean & prepared. The kids loved jumping off the dock into the pond. We brought our Lilly pad, kayak, & paddle board but they did have floaties, paddle boat, & motorized fishing boats which was so nice. The screened in boat house was AMAZING! Keeps the bugs off of you & the breeze made for a perfect relaxation. The mowed trails were great for walks. The hosts were so accommodating & kind. We needed batteries for a new game we brought & she had some for us. She answered right away each time. We’d love to do it again!
