Cosy and clean cabin set in a beautiful location. The view from the lakeside veranda was amazing with some stunning sunrises and sunsets! Bonus of the private fishing jetty just at the side too. The park itself is very clean, tranquil and well kept. Everyone we met there, whether park maintenance workers or cabin neighbours were all lovely and friendly. We will be booking to stay again in the future.
