Nicely decorated single bed cabin. Only issue was had to call maintenence to light gas logs in fireplace. Also community gas grill not functional. Ended up eating 2 delicious dinners at the marina restaurant just 300 feet away.the 2 nights there. The whole community was picturesque.
Stayed 2 nights in Oct 2025
