Our group of 3 had a great stay at the Messenger cabin. The location was perfect for attending Oktoberfest at ruttgers. Very cute, tidy cabin. It could use a dusting and wipe down, but still felt clean. Our two pups absolutely loved the space to run around. Beautiful property!

All honesty. It could be a great place to stay. But the house needs a serious cleaning. And pictures need to be updated

Can't attest to the "Big Fish", but the cabin is eclectically beautiful and full of family history and mementos. If you're a Felix Unger type, you may not understand the attraction of this property. But if you're an Oscar Madison type (meatloaf, pork and beans) you'll get it and you'll love it! Thank you, Guy, for your pictorial journey of a family in love with their cabin. Everyone should be so lucky.

Our weekend getaway
The place was extremely private when we went and weren’t bothered by anyone which was our goal. We used a provided paddle boat and caught several award winning size bass and it took us very little skill. The largest was at sunrise at the dock, believe that or not! The home had great hot water and was a little outdated but absolutely perfect for a cabin getaway. There were a few bugs but hello were in the woods on a lake house on the water. I loved it and the kids did also. I had some additional request and were approved without hesitation on check out time(amazing).

Amazing people and location
Wow, just wow!
I want to start with people I interacted. The owner met us at the property and he is the nicest person in the World, I wish I meet more people like him in the day to day things. He welcomed and showed us the property, explained the location and things around, what can we do and so on. The property is clean and well stocked for anything you many need during your vacation. The view is amazing, the lake is amazing, very secluded and you feel isolated from the world which is great. The house itself is full of history which is another amazing experience we had.
Now, what we didn't like- our vacation was too short and hope to come back next year! Mountain biking - 15 mins away, Lake, 30 seconds away, water activities - available close by as well. Want go shopping - a few towns close by as well
Thank you very much for letting us stay at this place, we had amazing vacation thanks to you!

Peaceful stay
Please is clean and quiet. Lovely to hear the lions in the morning. You will want to bring bug spray and long sleeves as it’s very wooded.
