We cannot say enough great things about this place! Our family had a blast! Thank you for making us feel like this was our home for our stay. And thank you for all the extra things you have available for the kiddos. Not only the private beach area, but the canoe, kayak, boards and they even put a couple of puzzles together at night. We loved our stay!
