Aug 26, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy Our family, four adults and three children ages 4-10, had a fantastic stay! The fishing and kayaking were enjoyed daily and there were a ton of board games for the kids to enjoy. Great location - just far enough out of town to enjoy the peace but close enough to stores, activities, etc. Check in/out process was super easy! We would definitely stay again. ##### McKinzi S.
