Sunset Paradise

We both just loved this place, a tiny little piece of paradise. I don’t think I have ever seen sunsets like these. It’s got everything you need, Bruce is super easy to deal with, we will go back.

Peaceful and amazing place

Bruce was nice and easy to talk all the time. The boat house and the atmosphere were amazing. The house was fully equipment and there was a barbecue 😍 We would like to go back as soon as possible.

The perfect Setting!

We wanted to get away especially after lockdown for our anniversary. If you are looking for some peace and a place to rest your soul & recharge, this is bf the place. Unfortunately we only had 3 nights but we will be back. Bruce is the perfect host & we really appreciated everything about the boathouse.. We even miss chilling on the back deck looking over the lake! Absolutely great value for money! Thank you again Bruce, we’ll be back :)
