This Vrbo was ideal for our camp-themed bachelorette! The cozy cabin had charming rustic decor, and the outdoor space with the lake and pontoon was perfect for relaxing and bonding. The host was friendly and helpful, and the location was secluded yet convenient. It truly made our celebration special and memorable. Highly recommend!

Wonderful Family Getaway!

Our family had a fabulous time at this cabin! With 16 people it can be hard to find places that "fit" just right, but this cabin had everything we needed! Enough room to spread out, big table for us all to eat together, multiple levels for kids that needed naps, multiple refrigerators and washers/dryers, and a great swimming area around the dock! Would definitely book here again as we made some amazing memories!

Great cabin with a perfect floor plan for mutliple families or guests. Bedrooms and bathrooms are on the outside walls of the house with the center of the home being the common space (living room, kitchen, dining and game room). There was plenty of indoor and outdoor activities to keep the kids and adults entertained. We also rented their pontoon and it worked great. We would stay again!

Perfect setting for our large family gathering

We really enjoyed our family weekend together at your home this December. We filled every bed and were grateful to the many spaces for family togather to play pool, ping pong, or board games; piece puzzles, watch movies, or cook. Accommodations were nice, house was well stocked, and beds were comfortable. Booking and check in went smoothly and Marjorie responded to all our questions about the house or area. We hope to come again!.

Our family of 11 enjoyed our 3 night stay very much. We could not spend as much time as we had hoped on the water due to the weather, but we had fun playing badminton, volleyball, bags, pool, ping pong, darts, chess, etc. The hot tub and campfire were very relaxing. The 5 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms worked out perfectly for us. It was nice to have multiple sitting areas, two fridges, a well stocked kitchen, and an enormous master suite! Be sure to bring firewood.
A foggy, misty morning.
We had one gorgeous sunrise. Note the canoe. I don't think that was mentioned in the listing.

We had a wonderful time at this house. The kids enjoyed the game room and all the water activities. The boat was a hit. I would defiantly come back. I loved that the house is on a smaller lake and lots of room outside for the kids to play.

Check in was a breeze. Marjorie is very communicative and friendly. The house is so spacious and the 'extras' such as the table tennis/pool table, board games, bikes, etc was such a big hit with the group. Everything went so smoothly the group is already talking about when we can stay here again! Thanks for a relaxing weekend!! Would recommend this place 100%...
