Nice stay

Everything was super clean, smelled great and beds were very comfortable. Can’t see water from cabin but very short walk to a beautiful water view with dock, my husband was able to dock boat and leave in water which was very convenient. Seating for dinner table is limited but there were chairs on porch. My family really liked it here and would come back.
