“The staff was wonderful (special mention, Darlene in the dining room is lovely), the room was spotless, food was delicious and the serving size was generous, we will certainly be back for another stay.”
“I absolutely love this place! I’ve come up here with my parents a few times. I Love how the cabins are not updated and not too fancy! I absolutely love the older styles! Beautiful property and love being surrounded by the water! Cabins are cleanest ones I’ve ever seen! Would highly recommend!”
