The cabin was pretty clean. A short walk to the water. The sauna and hot tub are shared. The view from the hot tub at sunset was beautiful it looked like a painting. Very quiet. We only stayed one night because it was last minute so book ahead for sure.

The cabin was just as listed, cozy and quiet. It was just what I wanted for time away so I could bring my dog. The hosts were always quick to answer any questions and very pleasant. I enjoyed my stay very much.

We stayed in the boathouse down by the water. Staff was very helpful with booking. The inside was spotless with great bedding and many extra touches..coffee, dish soap, first aide kit to name a few. Great reading lights next to the beds. Plush towels too. The roof of our boathouse was a picnic/play area that was very noisy if people were using it. The swim area for the resort is very small and RIGHT next to the boat house. Again, very noisy. If you don’t mind noise or want to be in on all the activities, this would work for you. If you are looking for a quiet retreat… not so much.
