Summary: Had a great stay and thank you Gunjan for all the communications leading up to the trip. The kiddos absolutely loved it! House is very well equipped, plenty of trash bags, washing packets, etc. (forgot toothpaste on day 1 and there was little single toothbrush/ toothpaste packets, thank you for that :)Kayaks, clear bottom canoe, and paddle boards were a great way to spend the evenings. Not alot of boat traffic since it is pretty close to the dam. Don't miss getting up early and watching the sunrise! Plenty of great memories for me and the family.hanks again Gunjan, looking forward to next time!
