We really enjoyed our stay! The kids loved the lake and had fun taking the canoe out. The guys enjoyed the fishing and the girls enjoyed staying cool inside. There were plenty of TV's and it was nice having a washing machine. The grounds were so pretty and we enjoyed our walks. It would have been to nice to have a large dining room table so we could all eat together and play games. Though it did have 2 dining tables so that was nice.

Place was so relaxing. Our teens had a blast in the canoe and paddle boats. Everyone caught fish.

It was a relaxing getaway. Perfect for relaxation. Boating, fishing, grilling out on the deck overlooking the lake. It was great.
