Rated 8.8 out of 10 by 47 guests who stayed here.
Private dock, wood-burning sauna, and a fire pit. Each place was its own cabin and comfortable. A decent amount of privacy in each little yard.

Great customer service. Lovely rooms!
This is a lovely spot to stay. Close to everything, but still quiet and cozy. The cottage had everything we needed and was clean and comfortable. There are lots of little extras, like the sauna, beach, kayaks, fire pits,…
It was very comfy and cozy, away from all the busy traffic and noise, but it was still close to restaurants and gas stations. The fire pit was very pleasant and the the staff was so nice.
The rooms could have been a bit…
The layout was perfect
The mattress was too hard
