We had a very enjoyable and relaxing weekend. The cabin was very clean and comfortable. We especially enjoyed eating on the deck overlooking the water and having a fire down by the lake in the evening. Marc is a very friendly and accommodating host.

The view of water is amazing. Being able to sit outside on the beautiful Trex deck (no splinters) to eat and relax is priceless. The cabin is cute and clean. Anything you could need during your stay is already there.
