“From the minute I checked in everyone was so nice. The owner recommended local restaurants for breakfast and dinner. He also gave me a tour of another cabin located on the waterfront. Gracious hosts.”

“So thankful for the new owners. Heck Mr Hall (one of the new owners) changed my flat on my boat trailer. Now I'm not sure if I even asked him how much. Very nice man and very pleasant to talk to. Nice change.”

“This place is great. Read about kids not having anything to do. That's not true! Bring the kids' bikes, BEST fishing spots, tire swings, a game area for horseshoes, and cornhole, bring the kids back to the basic outdoors.”
