Staff is friendly and very helpful. This place is a great little getaway. Pricing is reasonable. Took my grandchildren and they absolutely loved it.. we didn’t want to come back home to reality. It was a peaceful, reenergizing experience.

Liked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities

Le personnel est serviable, gentil et toujours avec le sourire. Très accommodant et prêt à trouver des solutions si problème. Tente pour glamping sont propres et confortable . Site enchanteur pour ceux qui aiment le calme, la nature avec vue sur le lac
