Many great recommendations were made and it was a blast! Not much time was spent inside the cabin, the location on the sandbar is prime but we also enjoyed renting a pontoon to take out further and to look at the homes along the shore and to anchor on the sandbar all day. Also recommend bringing camp chairs and wood to enjoy the fire at night. We can’t wait to return next summer! ##### Chloe F.

Very peaceful place enjoyed our stay. One thing that could improve is furniture couch end tables needed. Couch was uncomfortable no end tables. Snack tray’s would have helped.
