House was beautiful and very peaceful/quiet... still close enough to get to all the activities we wanted to do. Perfect set up for us and our pup. Vickie and Scott were great hosts - communicative and extreamly accomidating.

Great communication. Clean, rustic cabin at the end of a private road. Thoroughly enjoyed our stay.
6 / 10Average·Sep 2024
The privacy and peacefulness of the location are paramount. The cleanliness of specifically the bathroom (moldy shower mat & curtain) & kitchen (mouse droppings in multiple drawers) was disappointing. The rest of the cottage was clean and comfortable, however. My oldest daughter cut her foot open badly on a nail on the wooden dock, requiring immediate medical attention to close the wound. My husband and youngest daughter suffered from swimmer's itch on our first full day here. Communication with property owners was speedy.
