Hello Kellie,
Thank you so much for choosing to stay with us! It was truly a pleasure hosting your wonderful family, and we’re so happy to hear that everyone had a fantastic time. The Water’s Edge Cabins are all about creating special moments with loved ones, and it warms our hearts to know your family enjoyed the space as much as ours has over the years.
We hope to welcome you back again soon for more memorable experiences.
I’m glad the rain didn’t spoil everyone’s fun! Sometimes it’s the best family time!
Judy and Robert were such wonderful hosts, literally anything we needed and any questions we had were answered so quickly and often even in person! When the power went out during a storm (not unexpected in cottage country), Robert brought us over a generator!The place was perfect for young kids with a sandy beach, easily accessible water and kayaks and float mats! The screened in porch was perfect for late nights with parents after the kids went down. Highly recommend.
