We had a wonderful time during our visit. The property is conveniently located within a short drive of many great spots, but it is also a nice place to relax and get away. The owner was extremely friendly and helpful to our family. The cabins neighbor one another pretty closely so I was a little worried that my children might be too noisy or that people might get annoyed when our dogs barked at other dogs, but honestly, the whole environment felt friendly. We only ran into the other renters in passing, and mostly had the sandbox, swings, etc. to ourselves. We spent some time playing badminton, and could have enjoyed other yard games, etc. if we didn't have plans to head to Silver Lake and visit a few other stops. Our children loved playing in the water, which is just down an asphalt path and across a road. Just know that the road is really busy so small children can't cross alone, but the water/beach is far enough back from the road that we had no concerns once we were across and we could relax and enjoy a beautiful sunset. The owner provided great suggestions for places to eat and places to visit within thirty minutes. We did most of our cooking ourselves, so I will suggest that if there is something specialized that you need for a meal, this was a very basic (but very clean) kitchen set up and had mostly just the very bare essentials. I had to do some improvising, but that is part of the fun on a trip sometimes. I would assume that most renters are coming to enjoy some of the local amenities and aren't necessarily worried about those things :) We had wonderful trip and would have loved to stay longer. We hope to come back and visit again and to invite some of our family and friends to rent other cabins at the same time.
