What a gem of a place! So clean and on point! Cant get a better spot on a peninsula, surrounded by water. Wish we had more time to explore.

Beautiful spot with great host
This waterfront home is better than you could image. The sunsets from the porch are just magical and something that is going to bring us back. Everything was provided for kayaking, having a fire, cooking a home, family game night. The house is so close to the Baxter state park entrance and the few restaurants in the area. We will definitely be back!

Wonderful camp!
We had such a wonderful time! The weather was rainy but that didn’t damper the activities. There was plenty of room for two families including small children. Lovely lovely camp! We will be back!
