"It was a great get-away for our family. Megan was a great host getting back to me whenever I had a question. The weather was great and we got a lot of sunshine. Just our last day it was a bit windy. The sunsets were awesome. The house was very clean with comfortable beds and we were so happy to have two bathrooms. We missed having a wood fire and making smores. There were plenty of yard games available. We played games in the large yard. Negatives:The water level was low and was not pleased with the grass growing in the shallow water. The grass was tangling in the boat motor. The fan helped somewhat. We did not like the plastic plates, bowls and cups. We prefer glass."
