    The morning we were to leave we received a call that there had been a fire in the basement of our home. They could only find one of our cats. I messaged the Hostess and let her know what was happening & asked if it would be ok if we were a few minutes late leaving. She understood our situation as I was on the phone handling things back home. We were about 30 minutes behind schedule leaving. She completely understood the predicament that we were doing our best to handle the emergency at home & trying to pack-up at the same time. Definitely appreciate her kindness & we will recommend & stay at this beautiful cabin again.

    We had a great time at the Lily Pad. Sherry was a pleasure to work with. I live close and we needed extra space to accommodate family members...what a fantastic find. The Lily Pad exceeded all our expectations and we will definitely be back!
