The park model cabin we stayed in was well stocked and cery clean. Beds were a little on the hard side but the cabin was comfy and very clean. We enjoyed our stay
This place is magic. The Yurt is super cool probably around 450 sq ft, small kitchen, big bathroom, comfortable bed.
The property is huge. Plenty of RVs and cabins around. Lovely spot.
Was an emergency substitution for a fraudulent VRBO booked 10 months ago. Very helpful, clean, and quiet. Very happy to have a place to sleep after 3 day/1880km trip to get here from Saskatchewan.

Amazing MUST stay property
We stayed in the Cottage for a couple nights. The space was nicely renovated and had enough room for the whole family. The location of the cottage made it very easy to access the water. The Cottage has an amazing yard to enjoy if you want to stay put for the day. Overall between the friendly customer service and the beautiful property this is a must stay if you come to the area! You will NOT be disappointed
