"Super dog friendly. Beautiful clean property that feels more like a wellness retreat. We stayed in a king suite which is above the main building. Rooms were super nice with a huge deck! They have a sauna and a beach, although the water wasnt very clean. Complimentary bikes, kayaks, canoe and paddleboard that you can take anytime. Beautiful fire rings on the beach with all the supplies you need to start it. They have a small store but not really any food options so buy snacks somewhere else."
