Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy
We had an incredible stay. Not only was the side yard completely fenced in and such an ease to let our pup out, but the views are incredible. Perfect spot to explore the park as the entrance is right around the corner. Communication was quick and helpful! Breakfast on the dock and a fire at night under the stars. Everything we needed to cook, grill, and have a fire was right there. A hairdryer/straightener and laundry were a HUGE plus. This trip became our engagement getaway and we will hold Loons Nest as a special place in our story. Excited to come back in warmer weather!
