Very beautiful location, wonderful dock. We kayaked, and had a bonfire 2 nights of the 3\. Leaves were just starting to change for fall so that was wonderful. Didn't catch much fish; but managed to catch a few smaller northern and a huge crappie. Missed out a big walleye got it up to the dock and it jumped out of the hook. Overall very relaxing experience. Plenty of extra blankets and fans for those who need to sleep with a fan. Wifi worked great. Limited cell service but didnt matter. No issues at all. ##### Kelsey H.

Lots of space and comfortable seating to gather with family inside and outside. We really enjoyed watching wildlife at the bird feeders a kayaking around the lake — very fun! Next time, we want to get geared up and try out fishing.
