check in was super easy. Great amenities, a short walk to the water which was absolutely wonderful as my husband is an avid fisherman. We will definitely rebook for a quick week end getaway

We absolutely loved the tent —everything about it was beautiful and very well maintained. The atmosphere was peaceful and relaxing, making it a perfect place to stay. The only small detail was the distance to the bathroom. It’s not very far, but personally, having to walk there in the middle of the night was a bit inconvenient for me. If the bathroom were a little closer to each tent, the place would be even more perfect. Overall, we had a wonderful experience and truly enjoyed our stay.

Great location and lovely setting would love to visit in peak season to get full use of the lake as certainly a chilly stay. Thank for hosting us
