Everything was great! The property was as pictured and my kids had so much fun kayaking, making s’mores, and playing in the hottub. Mark was quick to reply and made sure things were going well!

Amazing Family Getaway
Our family (set of grandparents, 4 adults and 3 kids 8 and under) loved our stay! Check in was easy and the place was ready for us! The entire property is so beautiful. A warning for those families that are over packers - this house is FULLY stocked! When I say anything you could want or need to use in the kitchen - it is there. Loads of dishes, tons of towels, laundry items, extra tables and chairs, a baby gate - everything! We definitely could have saved some room in our car, haha!Any time we had a question, our host was quick to respond and very helpful. We had a wonderful time, and I have a feeling we will be coming back again.
