Weekend Trip to hideaway cove

My husband and I had the best time celebrating the long holiday weekend at hideaway cove. We were able to bring our senior dog and were so impressed with the layout and everything that was provided. We slept comfortably even in chillier weather, and made sure to take advantage of the canoe. The lake was gorgeous and we fell in love with the area. I definitely recommend!

Weekend Trip to Peace, Ponies, Ponds @ Pinchona

What a beautiful, peaceful spot! We pulled in after dark but it was easy to find and beautiful by the lake. Woke up to horses across and next to us after listening to some serious fish and beaver? slapping around in the pond at night! It was perfect☺️
