Super accommodations and incredible views and location. Close to all the attractions but also somewhat secluded. Cabin was recently remolded and was perfect for my grandson and I. Would book again!

Great location!

The location was wonderful! We enjoyed the lake and all its natural beauty and wildlife. The cabin was a little rough as far as needing updates, especially the plumbing fixtures. The bed and bedding were great! Very nice and private for us and the dogs.
