This place was great for our big family. Right on the lake with a dock for our boat. They had kayaks and paddle boards for our use plus the game room inside. Plenty of seating for everyone and areas to spread out. I would suggest contacting Shawn for specific information once you book. Evolve uses AI to find the answers based on what is posted

We had a wonderful stay! The place was even bigger and nicer than the pictures suggested. It was very clean, private, and comfortable. The game room was a huge hit with the kids and kept them entertained throughout our trip. The lake view was absolutely amazing and made for a relaxing atmosphere. Everything was as described, and we truly enjoyed our stay. We would gladly come back again and highly recommend it to others.
