August 2026

We had the most wonderful long weekend here. The inside was charming, unique and still had lots of luxury. The outside was breathtaking. We spent most of our time on the patio by the fire or at the water exploring. The house felt private and secluded, but we were still close enough to go do tourist activities too. Within an hour after leaving our kids were asking when we could go back. (If you plan to go exploring on the water bring water shoes)
