Great place

This was a great place to enjoy with family and friends for the weekend. It was a nice getaway and easy access to the rake for fishing or canoeing. The owner/staff of the property were very easy going and we had great communication with them throughout the stay. Highly recommend this 5 cabin property for a nice weekend getaway.

Family get together

The Ponderosa was a great place for our family to come together The beach area was nice. The water was shallow and did not drop off suddenly. Our small grandchildren loved it. They even fished from the dock and were excited when they caught fish. We rented a pontoon for a couple of days and the older boys went fishing and caught quite a few fish! Making s’mores at night around the HUGE fire pit was great. Had lots of chairs around it. We enjoyed the big outside area where the kids could run and play and where we played several yard games. Over all it is a great place for large families. We all enjoyed it alot
