"Location was great. 2 dads and 3 sons on a walleye fishing trip over fall break. The house was the perfect location to fish and explore. It had everything we needed to cook, relax, watch football, play cards, enjoy the wood stove, and the sounds of the bay. Sunsets from the house were amazing. Sunrises from the boat on the bay, just as good. We’ll definitely plan to be back!"
