Very quiet and peaceful
We enjoyed our night here, it was very quiet and peaceful. We took the canoe out on the lake and went swimming, the water was perfect. We even saw fireflies after dark! Directions were clear and it was easy to find, would stay here again!
Highly recommend
Beautiful area. Nice and quiet and a great family to host!!!
Great getaway
Such a cute and serene spot! The campsites are surrounded by trees. We saw beavers, snakes and fireflies. The hosts were incredibly friendly, the campsite and outhouses were well equipped with little sinks and very well maintained. Great place for a quick little getaway!
