Love the location!

We have been here a few times and absolutely love the location. Being right on the water truly can't be beat! It's usually not one of the busier ones out this stretch of road, and is close enough to Fall Creek to reasonably run in for supplies. It's not overly developed but also not overly rustic - really hits the sweet spot!
