Nice place for a family vacation, worked perfectly for us. Close to Brighton. Kitchen was well equipped, bedrooms were very comfortable and family room was nice. River was muddy so don’t plan on swimming.

Great weekend stay! Loved the area and the home. Perfect spot for a relaxed weekend getaway on the water. Would love to go back!

It was an ok stay. Nothing bad that ruins the stay or experience but a couple of little details that can be improved to go from 3 stars to 4 or 5 stars. Bedrooms are small but the living area has a lot of space. The kids room is cozy and the toys and books there are a nice touch. The kitchen is well equipped and appliances are new. The one bathroom is old, the shower and shower curtains are also old and the water has a strong iron/cooper smell. Towels are also a bit old and have an odor. It is clear thay they are trying to slowly remodel the property and improve it but it is still not 100% there. The lake on the property is greenish, probably why all the pictures are from the winter season.
