The lake is low, but the place was nice and clean. Community hot tub was clean and hot. Atmosphere was friendly. There is a brewery/pub on site and access to the lake. We had a great stay
Our family enjoyed a peaceful and quiet stay. Kids loved sleeping in “the bus.” House has everything we would need for our stay. It was bout damn time we headed out of the city to the lake!
