Great house & location!
The home was clean, well equipped and its lay out easily accommodated our two families. Property Management was great as well! The dock area is shallow so we docked our tritoon boat at Mitchells Marina, which was conveniently located around the corner from the house at the end of Trading Post road. We enjoyed floating, kayaking, paddleboarding and especially enjoyed the lack of boat traffic on this cove. Would stay again for sure!

Beautiful House, Difficult Boat Dock
We loved the house! It was perfect for my siblings and our partners. We stayed in the downstairs bedroom and it was so peaceful and quiet (even with 8 people in the house talking and cooking). Our only issue is that the dock was very difficult to navigate with a boat (tricky angle and shallow) We had 2 very experienced boaters on deck (one of my brothers sails for a living) and it still took multiple people to guide it in to avoid hitting anything. Hopefully they can address this issue because we would love to stay here again in the future.
