“My son and I had a great time fishing for walleye on Big Sand Lake, the kids swam every day in the heated pool, and we all enjoyed the game room! But one of my favorite moments from our vacation was having a nap every afternoon in the hammock under the cedar trees. Rest and relaxation at its best!”
