    We really enjoyed the location.The three on cleanliness was due to the bathroom and coffee was left in the coffee pot which had turned to sludge. Outdoor cooking areas also left full of ash and dirty pan in one.We would go back as hoping the cleaning slips were just oversights.

    This is our second time to stay at this nice little getaway. We love the privacy and the fact it's at the end of the road. My husband kayaked while I fished off the dock. The house is cozy and perfect for just relaxing. Definitely our go-to in Menard for wanting to get away!

    Our kiddos LOVED our stay. The littlest convinced us we need a rope swing at home after spending so much time on yours. The house had everything we needed and more and we cannot wait to come back next summer!
