The boys and I had a fun week. I was a little disappointed I could not take my kayaks out in the lake, but understand why they are trying to protect it. ##### Benjamin F.

Deanna was very helpful when intetnet wouldn't work. Very bad roads getting in, and too steep a walk to the dock for 70+ yr olds. Also 2nd bathroom advertised was in the basement. ##### Betty Z.
