Perfect family get away

We loved our stay! It was the perfect family get away for our family and teens. We enjoyed the dock, campfire and hot tub on the cooler days and of course paddling in the river in the sun! The proximity to paddle the Itchnetuckne was terrific (only 10 min drive) We also brought a small boat and had a great time exploring the Santa Fe. We are already planning a return trip!
