Summary: We had four families with grandkids ages 1.5 to 10, so the number of cottages was perfect. The lake was nice and sandy and shallow for the little kids we had there! They loved playing in the water, kayaking, paddling the water boards and fishing with our boat. We had a lot of things to do there such as shuffleboard (which is actually a lot of fun!), the game room with a foosball table and ping ping table. We played a lot of games! The s'more station was a hit and the hosts were very accommodating. One of the Keurig Coffer Makers broke, and they brought a new one out the same day we let them know!
