We spend the holiday weekend at Brian's place and it was everything we needed to have fun while staying away from crowds. The place is very clean and had plenty of room for everyone to enjoy. The kids enjoyed the pool and everyone enjoyed fishing on the decks and using the kayaks. I brought my dog and the front patio area was perfect for him. Would definitely book again on our next family trip!

Lovely stay

Our stay was great and we really enjoyed the accommodations. We had 8 adults and 3 kids (ages 5, 11, & 13). My one recommendation is for there to be enough chairs or barstools for the max allowed people to gather in the dining/ kitchen area. Family meal times are special for us and we had to have 2 people standing. Other than that, it was clean, the living room was comfy, the pool and the deck were fun and we enjoyed fishing and kayaking. Also, the instructions were clear and check-in and check-out were easy! Thank you for a lovely stay!
