★★★★★Robert ElliottLove the lake, great fishing there very peaceful loads of wildlife
★★★★★Rosalyn SloanPeaceful setting 5 min from state park. We had the retreat center all to ourselves when we rented the smaller cabin, which was comfortable for our family of 2 adults and 3 kids. Director was helpful, friendly, and available when needed.
