"This place was absolutely perfect for our Family vacation. The property is beautiful and the house is so spacious. The amenities and attention to detail that Julia and Vito provide are incredible. We spent most of our time on the water in kayaks and we rented a pontoon boat. We really enjoyed our Dinners at the huge dining room table and then enjoyed a campfire every night. We would definitely book this place again. So much fun and so many memories now! Thank you for everything."
