3 day family trip

My father recent passed. His burial was yesterday. My family was very fortunate to see this property was available. This is our second time staying at this property and we have not been disappointed once. This property is a home you would like to own which speaks volumes. .

Great place away from people just to lose yourself in quiet watching the wildlife. Owners were very nice and checked in with us with the approaching snow storm. Highly recommend.

The home was beautiful and clean. Had almost everything we needed. Size of TV was too small for the size of the room. Need small bars of soap for the showers. Need a small stand near the kitchen table to put stuff on.

Great getaway!

We really enjoyed the stay at Wet Feet Retreat. It was so quiet and peaceful. The property was well maintained both inside and outside. We made the mistake of locking ourselves out. The owners were very quick to respond, and they had us back inside within 10 minutes. They were great. We would recommend this location to anyone.

We loved our stay here! All the reviews I read before booking mentioned how clean this property was, and they were all correct. It was very clean and it was located very close to the Burnside Marina making it easy to enjoy life in the lake. I would love to stay here again.
