Family vacation

The house is nice and close to park entrance. The deck could've been cleaned and a lot of weeds going down to the dock. We all had a great time.

Family & Friends Getaway

This was a great location on the lake and a short walk to the amusement park. You can fish off of the dock, go boating with your boat or rent one just a walk away, play shuffle board or a variety of other outdoor/indoor games at the property, or have a quiet night sitting by the fire while looking at the lake.

Exceeded My Expectations!

This property exceeded my expectations! Such a wonderful place for our family to visit! Everything about it was perfect...clean, great space, dog friendly, fenced in property, beautiful views, just a few blocks from the boat rental place and the golf cart was a fun way to haul our wood from the car to the huge fire pit. Thanks Kathy!
