Our family had a wonderful vacation! The cabin was just perfect for our growing family! We enjoyed Serpent Lake! (We brought a boat and jet skis!) The boat launch is real close by! We biked, played at the park, and enjoyed going to town for ice cream! We also tried a few restaurants and had amazing food!
