Viajar con niños

the Lake is Great... BUT KIDS NEED SUPERVISION

Our grandkids love to come play at the Lake House, but they always require supervision. The deck has a Planter Barrier of spring and summer foliage, but NO railings. All kids should wear flotations devices near or on the water.
Reserva antes de marcharte
