I had a lovely time at Blue Water Acres, especially appreciating how convenient it was to find a short-term rental option during the summer. The location is peaceful and beautiful, making it a great escape from the city. While the cabin we stayed in was comfortable and clean, there were a couple of oddities like the squeaky bed and the lack of curtains on the entry door window. Overall, it's a charming getaway, but some minor improvements could enhance the experience.

Our stay was absolutely delightful! The accommodations were clean, spacious, and packed with amenities. The location offered stunning views of the lake, and the variety of recreational activities available made our getaway even more enjoyable. While one of the bunk beds in the cottage was a bit wobbly and could use some repairs, this did not dampen our overall experience. We felt great value for our money and would definitely return.
