Amazing MUST stay property

We stayed in the Cottage for a couple nights. The space was nicely renovated and had enough room for the whole family. The location of the cottage made it very easy to access the water. The Cottage has an amazing yard to enjoy if you want to stay put for the day. Overall between the friendly customer service and the beautiful property this is a must stay if you come to the area! You will NOT be disappointed

This place is magic. The Yurt is super cool probably around 450 sq ft, small kitchen, big bathroom, comfortable bed. The property is huge. Plenty of RVs and cabins around. Lovely spot.
