PERFECTION!!! Wanted to take my parents away for a quiet and relaxing quick break at the lake. The Big House at Cape Catherine was beyond what we even hoped for. The house is beautiful and inviting, it felt like home as soon we arrived. It was clean, stocked with necessities, and adorably decorated.
My parents loved sitting on the balcony decks listening to the water and watching the ducks. The peninsula was private, quiet, and peaceful. Although we didn’t venture out into the water, there were plenty of water equipment (kayaks, canoes, etc.) available.
Our host, Laura, was wonderful to deal with. She responded quickly to all of my questions and was incredibly helpful. Highly recommend both the Big House and Laura as a host.
We hope to return to the Big House on Cape Catherine for a longer stay in the future!!
