Most relaxing vacation we’ve been on in years!

This property was just perfect! It was so clean and comfortable and very well stocked! For several years we’ve had to buy kitchen items to fix meals and this property had it all! The beds were so comfortable we didn’t want to get up! Thanks again for our wonderful time celebrating our 43rd anniversary!

Wonderful

Property was just as pictured - very clean and furniture and mattresses seemed firm and relatively new. Location was right on canal and saw deer out the window in the morning. Visited in winter so only recommendation I would make is to leave guests a shovel for possible snow removal.
