#### Relaxing stay in the sounds

We had a wonderful stay in the sounds. Jason and Cheryl were great with communicating and accommodating our needs. Their home was spacious, warm and clean and there were plenty of nearby activities to keep us busy, such as fishing, hiking and canoeing. We would love to stay again and bring our boat on the next trip. Many thanks, Courtney & James
