Summary: We enjoyed our family time at the Rusty Anchor. My husband and I stayed at the cottage and our children//grandchildren stayed at the Big House. We had plenty of space for eating and games. It was difficult to play yard games due to the lack of level ground. We enjoyed the paddle boat, kayaks, pontoon, and lily pad. Andy and Nick are friendly and easy to reach. They responded to my questions quickly. They provided top notch appliances and beds/bedding. The only area we felt needed to be improved was the number of steps required to reach the house and the lake and the slope of the land. I would highly recommend staying at the Rusty Anchor and having a cool beverage at the Pelican Bar located at the cottage.
