Overall stay was good. House was clean however online pictures should be updated as in person the property is more worn and the docks are worn as well. It is a nice bay so that boat and jet skis were protected. House is close to streets so could hear traffic.

Short Stay

We only had time for a short stay but enjoyed all the property had to offer. The kids loved catching as many little pan fish off the dock as they wanted, along with a few larger fish! It was a quick drive for any groceries or supplies we needed. The cabin was well stocked with everything else!!

Great week long vacation!

4 of us stayed for a week, plenty of room for 6 more people. Super comfy beds, Great location, beautiful scenery. Cabin had everything we needed and then some. We only went out to supper once and cooked/grilled the rest of our meals. Our evening dips in the hot tub were amazing. Nice sandy beach was installed our first day there. The boat lift is for pontoon, we brought our ski boat and tied it to the dock and felt very protected. I would not hesitate to book this cabin again with extended family :)

Family Vacation

Perfect for our first trip with grandkids to experience "lake life". Kids had a blast fishing from the dock. Public landing very close with great access to whitefish chain of lakes. Our family of 4 adults and 3 kids had plenty of room to gather and just enough space to retreat for privacy too. Manhattans across the street and 5 min walk. Great food, nice outdoor seating with views of the lake. Overall location was great with only a short drive to access groceries, restaurants, shopping. Owners were very responsive.
