My family rents a cabin here every year, we love it. The beach is clean and well stocked with kayaks, and paddle boards. There is always a dock spot for my dad to tie up his boat. The cabins we have stayed in have been fully stocked with linens, bed sheets, dishes, cleaning supplies, etc. Great place to have a relaxing vacation and only about a 15 min drive to downtown TC

Lived there 2 separate times waiting for house to build. Could not ask for better for the price, the wonderful people (owners) make it seem safer somehow. Would rent again if needed.
