We loved staying here! The lake was peaceful and it was so nice to have coffee on the porch overlooking the water in the mornings. The dock itself looks brand new and was so nice. We loved fishing off of it! The use of the kayaks was a huge perk as well. The grounds were also so pretty. In the house, the kitchen was very well stocked. There was plenty of room for our large party! We had a great time!One thing to note: the top bunks are a bit wobbly so if you plan to put small children up there just be aware. But otherwise all the beds were comfortable!
