*** Listing includes main cottage, bunk house and hot tub "house" ***

*** PLEASE NOTE: Effective January 26, 2025, there will be NO WATER available to the bunkhouse, due to pipes being frozen. This means that the bathroom and sinks in the bunkhouse will not be functional until further notice. The issue will be resolved in the Spring once a new water line will be installed. This will not affect any Summer bookings. Please take this into consideration when planning your trip, since only one bathroom will be functional (in the main house). ***

Many issues...

There were dirty dishes in the totally full dish washer. The main bathroom sink or toilet leeks onto the floor, constantly wet. The primary bedroom mattress sinks down on the head part, very uncomfortable. The Basement rooms are nothing like the pictures show, and the floor leaks water all the way under the bed, no one wanted to stay down there due to the musty smell. The small house next to the large one, has skunks under the home and they continually spray, the home stunk really bad! It rained a few day on our stay, and the living area with TV, can only sit three people. There were not enough chairs in the main home for the amount of people they say it holds. The outside was very nice. We would not return.

Amazing camp

This was the camp experience we have been looking for. We wanted a property that contained us all week and with the pond, kayaks, games and comforts of home...we got it here. I was tempted to not review publically because I selfishly want to book this place for myself all summer next year!
