Testimonial
“The very best place in Seeley. Right on the lake. You can bring a boat or use the canoes, kayaks, and motorboats provided. We had a full view of the lake from inside our loft and a deck with a barbeque. If you are looking for a peaceful getaway from city life this is the place for you.” Kristina M. Price
