Nice quiet place. Great view.

5 couples on a Fall color atv ride. Worked out great for us. Close to everything you need Trail access on atvs was easy. Plenty of room to sit and visit. Fire pit along the canal was perfect end of the evening spot. Hosts were very easy to communicate with. Made everything simple.

It is a little bit of country close to town.

What makes this property unique

It allows us to enjoy our coffee in the morning sun, barbeques and the boat traffic from the deck, and end our day with a good ole' Copper Country sauna.
