The kids were never bored, there was a playground right behind the cabin, a beach right out side the door, two docks for the kids to fish on, and paddle boats and kayaks. We plan on going back and I’d recommend it to everyone ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/70eb11c8-6033-48c5-b803-83f615fffe92-1751916119408.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/2b3a5c28-59f2-4034-9828-5e272b286c76-1751916119684.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/d5f525cc-2973-430e-8e7b-659c8005f4f9-1751916119045.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/360a97fb-4993-49b9-886b-fc2a125ba92d-1751916119366.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ##### Cassidy O.
