Fantastic accoms. Beautiful and conveniently located , yet just enough off the busy areas to have your own little bit of awesome to enjoy.

Both the main home and boathouse properties are very well equipped, clean and had not just the basics but ANYTHING you would need to ensure you had the what you would need for your stay. Even their kitchen knives were actually sharp! You just need to bring your food and fishing gear and you're set for your stay. The kids very much enjoyed their stay as they were able to use the property's kayak, table tennis and outdoor playground... not to mention the calm water of the lake to go swimming. You can go fishing right in-front of the boathouse and sit by the deck with your choice of bevvy and enjoy the view. The whole family really enjoyed the stay and we are looking forward to booking the property in the future again. Bruce, thank you for making your properties absolutely perfect! ##### Elaine N.

The pictures don’t do this place justice. We stayed for a weekend with the kids and they spent all day in and on the water. The boathouse was the highlight for us right on the lake front. The kitchen and house was clean and well equipped with plenty of pantry ingredients. There was no wifi which was advertised in the listing but we didn’t really miss it as there was enough entertainment and dvds for kids to relax after a long day on the lake. Highly recommend it!
