We enjoyed our stay. It was great being able to dock our boat and park our trailer on the property. The cottage is cozy and comfortable. It's helpful to use a portion of your vehicle as storage. This keeps the cottage organized and tidy. Keep your meals simple since the kitchen is efficient but small. Rob responded quickly to our texts and emails. He also offered help with any questions regarding the surrounding areas and activities. There is traffic noise from 31, but it didn't bother us. We look forward to staying here again.

very rustic! think camping at a campsite with amenities but also with a roof over your head and AC. the kitchen was clean and the bed was comfy. we were there for a wedding and didn't need to spend too much time indoors. if youre particular, bring your own towels and pillows. the property is lovely!
