We came in the fall time peek season for the colors. The lake was beautiful with all the color of the trees.Looks like a great place to visit in the summer too. Cabin was clean and cozy to stay in. It was great taking our dog for walks around part of the lake and to the campground in the area. We will book again!

Such a nice little place to get away and relax! Great internet service, very peaceful area. Super comfy chairs and beds. Everything you need to get away and relax. We enjoyed the row boat and fished. Campfire by the lake was so nice! Will totally be back again in the future!

Very cozy, comfortable and clean. The only negative was the water. It was so bad it little smelled like rotten eggs. Could not use it to brush our teeth or for anything in the kitchen. Taking a shower was difficult due to the rotten egg smell.
