What a nice spot. The owner Jolene was very nice and friendly. The cabin was extremely clean and well-maintained. They have a gas grill and new picnic table outside, as well as a nice Adirondack chair set that was also heavy duty. I would recommend an upgrade of the mattress to the owner. Past that, the place was amazing. Nice pool, gazebo, fire pit, dock. What a find!

Outside environment was very good. The room we were in (#5) was tiny and the bathroom totally too small, including the shower. The AC unit made an annoying vibration sound almost all the time it ran. The mattresses too hard. Other than that, it was OK.
