Second time even better than the first. While last year's stay was great, this year was even better. The weather was HOT but the cool breeze off the lake made everything pleasurable as we fished, kayaked, swam and watched the wildlife.

Pre-Season Serenity

Having booked our time here for about a week prior to lake-season start, most days we felt we were utterly alone, surrounded by peace, nature, and privacy in this beautiful space.My husband fished, my daughter kayaked, and I fell in the lake. Great rest and great fun.

Clean and quiet on a nice little lake

Clean cottage with great lake views. It was a little colder than we anticipated, but we still tried to get out and enjoy the property as much as possible. The nature trails were nice for a little walk.
