Unique stay with some tradeoffs
We had the best weekend on this private island! But there were a few tradeoffs to renting such a unique property. The boat launch had very limited hours, so we had some issues with getting out boat in the water. Also, make sure you bring plenty of jugs of water with you since the water on the island is not good to drink. Additionally, there is no place to dock your own boat that is not on the island, which causes some issues for getting off the island to go to the store. So there were a few hiccups, but we still loved our stay and would consider returning!

10/10 Excellent

Wonderful time on the Island.
Great time spent with family. We were surprised to find a huge fridge. The 1920’s property is charming , with a lovely fireplace. The huge porch is amazing, even when it rained we still had a great time.
