Adult getaway weekend

3 adult couples for a wine/brewery fall weekend. GREAT place to stay!!! Had everything we needed and was in the perfect location. Had the weather cooperated, would have definitely spent more time at the outdoor bar. Looking forward to coming back!

4th of July

We had a great weekend on the bay. The views are incredible. We were pleased to find out that there was a nice sandy area for the kids to play although it does get rocky quick so you’ll want water shoes. We were able to moor our pontoon in front of the house which was also a plus. My only complaints are cleanliness - the dining table was dirty and it seemed like the cleaning process was rushed. Also the pictures in the listing are confusing. We expected an upstairs and a downstairs with 2 living areas however the indoor space is all on one level. It was a little tight with our 8 guests but we made it work. The outdoor bar space is phenomenal and great for a group of friends. Overall we had a great time.
