The property was more beautiful than could be imagined. The shady little area right by the dock is enchanting. Sand, pine needles, moss, chipmunks eating our peanuts, eagles soaring overhead -- heaven! We figured out what the fish were biting pretty early and had great success catching several species either by wading out past the dock, or taking out the rowboat. That's all we could have dreamed of! The lake itself, the fishing, and the property were all better than expected. And the cabin was so nice and comfortable and functional, just all around we didn't really have to leave and never felt a need to explore other lakes, etc. Perfect for a couples quiet getaway!
Our only unmet preference, if you will, was the neighboring property being rented out by a big family 4 of the 5 days we were there. So that did impede a bit on our intended quiet get-away from people since their dock and driveway were close and visible, but we were able to enjoy ourselves plenty regardless and would absolutely stay again.
Tip: Put the keys in the lockbox right after you let yourself in! We didn't realize the upstairs doors open from the inside while still locked, and ended up locking ourselves out, and learned there was no handy spare set of keys. But Chris the owner was very helpful and responsive throughout and we were able to fix the situation pretty quickly. Sorry to bother but thanks again, Chris! Rookie mistake!
All around, highly recommend, whether for a couples getaway or if bringing more friends or family to stay in the additional spaces. We can't speak to local attractions, etc, because, well there was no need to leave the property. 😊
