Thanks Brian and JackieThomas SmithWe were out boating on lake Egypt and stopped there for a quick drink. Extremely expensive.Kara CooperRyan DavisAwesome environment great place to hang outryan davisThe drinks, food and customer service is outstanding. I will definitely tell others about all of the above.tom rhinersonVeronicaThis is our second time staying here with family and we’ve had an enjoyable time disconnecting from the world and enjoying the water. Love that the deck had a gas fire pit and a coal grill with lots of seating. Kitchen had a Keurig so be sure to bring pods or a coffee device. Kitchen was missing a few items - cutting board, lighter, wine opener, and extra baking pan. Bathroom had towels which was nice for a cabin! Walkable distance general store had extra items if needed for purchase and the BEST pizza for order and bloody Mary’s!!!!Google rating score: 4.5 of 5, based on 200 reviews
