What a fun framily vacation we had at this cabin! The island is such a neat vibe. Riding over to the island on the barge adds to the excitement. Home is well appointed and space is ample! Beds and couches are very comfortable for relaxing. Sliding doors gave tons of airflow and make air conditioning almost unnecessary! Having a fire lake side and watching the stars appear and sitting out for hours is a delight! Only visit here if you want 100% relaxation and no distractions from the outside world!
