We enjoyed the stay. Very nice accommodations. The only negative is the long walk to the boat from the parking lot.

Great area, especially if you are into outdoors activities and visiting. Right next to the outdoor center where you can rent bikes and scooters. A little farther of a walk to downtown than I wanted. But all in all still doable and a great location.

Very good communication w/ host --the boathouse was a unique & fun option. We enjoyed it & would stay again! parking is a little far especially w luggage. ants/insects were a concern that the host is working on.

Overall, it was clean. Door knobs, pretty dirty and doors. It was hard to heat with one little bitty space heater. Can’t run heater and lots or coffee maker at the same time. We had to hang a blanket just to stay warm in the bedroom.
