Family vacation

We loved the cabin and the lake. The cabin was great for our family of 15. The path to the lake posed no problem for children and adults but might prove a challenge for the elderly.

So peaceful

We went for our daughters 19th birthday. Wanted to give her the best day ever and this place was stunning. Lake is beautiful, weather was amazing. Cabin is beyond what we thought it was going to be. Jake was so wonderful to communicate with. Best part is there were no mosquitos which was so awesome. Bonfire was great. We will for sure be back. Fishing was so fun too. We needed a getaway so bad to just all be together with our busy lives.
