Great Time!

My family stayed for 3 nights and we were the first guests of the season and everything was in great shape for us. It was very comfy and in the perfect spot for our needs.

Rustic Experience

We stayed here for a family reunion. The pictures make it appear much nicer, bigger, and cleaner than reality. When we walked in, none of the AC window units were running and it was sweltering hot. If they have someone checking in, you’d think they would at least turn that on for them? It took almost 12 hours to cool down and could barely keep up during our stay. They do provide several fans though, which we’re running full time. The smaller bedroom barely fits one twin bed, let alone a trundle bed. Plus they didn’t provide sheets for the trundle. It was easier to sleep on the love seat, even though I am more than 6 feet tall. The bathroom is tiny and you barely have room to turn around in the shower. Also, I know it’s an old cabin but the spiders were not pleasant surprise, especially after seeing one walk across the bed. For the cost, I would not recommend.

Cute inside, nice location

We stayed 2 nights in this sweet cabin. It was nice inside for its small footprint. There was no outdoor space to enjoy the lake. The cleaning fee was steep for size.
