This cabin is a slice of heaven ! Roy is an exceptional host who goes beyond and we appreciated all his help. The cabin will be a repeat for us next summer - this lake had fish and the inlet allowed us to paddle board and kayak it is just wonderful
The sunsets are breathtaking !

Slice of paradise.
Lake living is a luxury and we appreciate Roy so much for opening his gorgeous home to us. Roy was very communicative if there was anything we needed during our month stay.
This property is the closest you can be to town on Island Lake but you don't even need to go there are restaurants and market right across the main road. Thank you Roy, we are back next year!

Great property
Very nice property and clean also. Private but just a short drive to restaurants, etc. Loved being on the lake. Owner was very accommodating when we extended our stay twice for work reasons. We would definitely rent this property again if my company has another project in the area.
