The place was great! Plenty room for 6 adults to enjoy their time. The access to the lake, the grill and seating near the water was perfect. Would absolutely recommend!
Overall, our stay at Moon Path was amazing! The rooms were clean and the house was beautiful. The property was well maintained and we enjoyed the beautiful views. Not a complaint, but I will say the top bunk is very close to the ceiling, fair warning so it is a little difficult to get into. Would definitely come back to this beautiful spot again though.
