This was our second time staying at the rocky waters cabin and once again we did not want to go home. The hosts have thought of everything you would need and the entire process is painless. It’s a very peaceful experience and we will be back for a third time.

The small lake was perfect for the toddlers in the group. We were hoping to catch some fish while we were there, but that didn’t work out.

How was clean and the process was super easy. Great, secluded area right on the water. Plenty of water toys to increase fishing ability. We plan to come back!
