Our Experience at North Paw

Our hosts, Dave and Tim, showed remarkable hospitality. We were greeted with a warm reception upon arrival. Dave graciously prepared a delicious snack for our enjoyment while my husband attended to grocery shopping. This location is notably secluded. The hosts' meticulous attention to detail was readily apparent. At any given moment, the only sounds one could hear were birds chirping and occasional conversation. Our 12-year-old and nine-year-old granddaughters, who accompanied us, delighted in exploring the shallower waters, kayaking, and simply sitting on the rocks, absorbing the natural surroundings. The sunsets were breathtakingly spectacular! I have no hesitation in recommending this place to a couple or a couple and two kids.

Vacation

Lovely place. The hosts were excellent. Accommodations one of the best we have ever had. Kayaking was a main goal and with four to pick from… kayaking heaven. Nice small downtown with restaurant choices plus a grocery store not too far away PLUS a garden to pick tomatoes from!! We had a true vacation.
