Walk to Lake | Hot Tub, Game Room, Large Backyard & Peekaboo Lake Views

"Spectacular Back Yard! With so many options for entertainment, 10 of us rarely left the property. We were either in the backyard, in the game room, or hot tub: grilling or relaxing on the deck, playing bocce or corn hole, playing old-school video games, or playing pool. There was plenty of room for all of us, the beds were comfortable." - Lisa B., September 2023

First impression was how clean the place was. Every area was spotless as if it was regularly deep cleaned. We were very appreciative for that since we travel with very small kids. The house was exactly as shown in the photos. Check-in/out was seamless, no issues with any appliances or outlets, and communication with the host was friendly and prompt. We would love to stay again.

Our hosts Sophia and Kyle were great! Great communication! What a great place to stay! Our grandkids had a blast! Great sized backyard. Could use a nice sofa/sectional instead of a futon in the living room. Futon wasn’t very comfortable to relax on. We’d definitely come back and hope to do so again!

The house is in good condition. It is very clean and many amenities are provided. The game room had a nice pool table which our family enjoyed. The hot tub was very clean and hot and all the jets worked fine. The spa is also enclosed in a room off the main house which was perfect given that it was very cold outside.

In warmer months, the backyard and large porch would be a great hangout.

Had an amazing time with friends at this cabin. It was a great set up where we all had our own bedroom and bathroom.
