Vince & his family were a pleasure to host. They were keen on fishing, so I shared some tips & recommendations. I'm glad they had success.
We've loved sharing our island property especially with 1st time guests.
Fantastic vacation spot! Everything we were looking for and more. Very reasonable pricing. Good communication with host. We all had a great time and are already looking forward to next years stay.
A quiet and beautiful retreat from the day to day. You are removed from the hustle and bustle of life. We came for some fishing and bonding time and were not disappointed. It took me back to my younger days when get aways and camping trips were simpler. Great hosts and hospitality.

About the host
Hosted by Art Kingma
Our family has had been blessed with growing up at the lake. It's been such a natural inspiration for us, that we believe it's worth sharing the location with others. We love seeing the expression on guest's faces when they arrive for the 1st time and also - after they've spent a few days on our island.
Why they chose this property
It's a peaceful, natural paradise. Being close to the water, tucked just into the woods - the perfect place to get away from the city, relax, refresh and escape into nature's paradise. The air is cleaner, food is tastier and the sleeps are deeper.
What makes this property unique
It's an island cabin, but only 5 mins from mainland. We have the convenience of proximity, however exclusive privacy for our guests.
