The location of the cabin in relation to the Burnside Island boat ramp is perfect, less than 5 min. You can drop passengers off at the campground dock if they need to get off the water early instead of messing with the main dock. The cabin was very clean, well stocked, nice layout, and great back deck. The manager of the campground was very responsive and kind. Will definitely stay here again!

The two bedroom cabin was stocked with everything we needed. Great location and dog friendly was a real plus.

Great property, I've stayed in 2 separate cottages while I was here for a 3 month work contract. Both cottages have been clean, comfortable, and have all the regular household amenities you might need. The owners have been great, quick to respond, and you can tell they truly love this location and the people in it. Plenty of options close by for food, gas, and easy access to major roadways to go explore. I would absolutely recommend staying here, and if I'm ever in the area again, I'd be more than happy to stay here again.
