Wow! Amazing property for all ages, safe and secure for our 2 year old and easily accesible for our 88 year old. Our teenagers enjoyed time on the lake with the kayaks and so did the adults. Great time away from phones and spending quality family time and enjoying the beautiful view. Close to attractions. Thank you owners
