Hideaway gem

Our stay was great. Felt like we were in the middle of no where. The host was prompt answering any questions we had and was very friendly. We were staying there due to having repairs on our rv we live in and we had all amenities that we could want. Would definitely stay again.

Great place for a quiet, relaxing getaway

There are not enough words to describe how wonderful our stay with Donald was. To say that he spoiled us would be an understatement. I only wish we could have stayed longer and cannot wait to go back!!

Second stay, love this place

We love this place. Our second stay was just as perfect as the first. Great location, quiet, secluded, comfortable, everything we needed and more. If you are an avid birder, you won’t find a better spot. A multitude of shorebirds roost around the lake right outside the back door. Perfect base for exploring the St Mary’s area. We will be back.
