Nice property except the water smells strongly of iron/wet dog. Bring your own water.

Great fishing cabin.

Great place to fish from. Host was great and answered questions and communication was immediate. It was great for two fishing buddies but my wife would not have approved on cleanliness. Needs a better house cleaner and I think he had just lost his, so was understandable. All in all had a great stay.
