The house was perfect for our short weekend. The only thing I would have done better was cut the grass on the left side of the property in front of the basketball hoop. It was very high up to my knees in just the one section.

Had a last minute cancellation of other plans, and quickly grabbed a cabin last minute. This house was perfect for what we needed it for, and we got lucky that it was Lake Wally Fest that weekend. This was a great home base as we explored the Lake and the greater Hawley region. Very happy with the cabin vibes, and the time spent with my family.

Weekend getaway
The house was perfect. Affordable, cute and quaint but plenty of room for everyone. Exactly like the pictures. Close to the public boat launch. Lovely outside area, saw tons of deer. Would absolutely come back.

Great Cabin!
Everything was perfect. The cabin exceeded our expectations and looked exactly like the online pictures. It was the best house on the block! There was plenty of space, plenty of seating, a huge backyard and all of the amenities that we needed. I would definitely recommend this house and all of its surroundings.
