The Bear Cub Cabin was just PERFECT! Located in a quiet section of the lake, the cabin is tastefully furnished, very clean, and plenty of room. The host is very responsive, provided everything you need and even included all the fixings for S'mores at the fire pit. We really enjoyed our stay and will definitely stay here again.

Beautiful Location

This property is so cute with the best view of the lake! Love the dock and enjoyed laying out in the lounge chairs and having the kayak and paddle board to use. The cabin is small but spent our time outside. Cabin very clean and welcoming! Host was amazing at communicating.
