Very nice, spotless spacious rooms. Property well maintained. Very large parking lot perfect for our boat along with outside electrical outlets. Grills and picnic tables with nice pool. Near boat ramps. Halfway between Warsaw and Clinton. Rooms were only $79.00 which included the taxes! I can't wait to go back.

Excellent service. Very responsive management. Cabin was clean and well equipped. We all had fun sitting around the fire pit and throwing a line in the pond out back. I think we'll book early for next year's Independence Day.
