Wonderful stay. Everyone really enjoyed the feel of the place. Many terrific spots around the island to explore.

We had the best weekend on this private island! But there were a few tradeoffs to renting such a unique property. The boat launch had very limited hours, so we had some issues with getting out boat in the water. Also, make sure you bring plenty of jugs of water with you since the water on the island is not good to drink. Additionally, there is no place to dock your own boat that is not on the island, which causes some issues for getting off the island to go to the store. So there were a few hiccups, but we still loved our stay and would consider returning!

This place is awesome plain and simple. Beautiful views, every amenity you could ask for, owners are super nice. We didn't even have a boat but wasn't an issue at all as they had cayaks, a paddle boat, paddle board, and tons of tubes to float around the island on. Probably the hottest fishing spot on the lake is right off this islands dock as well. Everything I could've hoped for and more. Would have given it 6 stars if I could.
