A Great Lake Experience!
What fun it was to stay at On the Rocks! Loved being right on the upper deck as boats go by(slowly- it's a "no wake" zone)- endlessly entertaining, as was the wildlife - otters, fox, ducks, deer. The main areas are attractive and very roomy and clean. Kitchen is very well equipped; AC worked well especially in the main rooms. Owner - and Vacasa - were very helpful and responsive.
