SUPER clean and well appointed little lakefront property steps from the water. Also steps from the neighbors, but all was quiet. My only complaint is the shower - I'm 5'7" (not short) and the water shot horizontally over my head so showering was pretty tricky.

Lovely Little Cabin

Quiant, clean, quiet cabin and area. Beautiful time of year (mid-Oct.) in this area Up North! 10 short minutes from Hayward. Cabin had everything we needed. Enjoyed coffee on the deck in the a.m. and cocktails in the p.m. We would have used the kayaks if the weather would have been better. Bed was too soft for our liking but everything else was great!

Cute little cabin

This cabin seemed small when we arrived but everything was so well organized and efficient that it didn’t feel small once we got settled in. Very comfortable and welcoming decor. The kayaking was awesome. We had a great time during our stay.

NEVER AGAIN!!!!!

The location was so peaceful and serene. The cabin is on an inlet and the boaters were very quite. That was the only part we enjoyed. We are coffee drinkers and the first thing I do when we get to a cabin, s make coffee. The coffee/pod maker was broken. The TV had no instructions on how to use it. At home, all we do is push a button, and it goes on. Talk into the remote and change channels. We pressed all kinds of buttons but it won't work. Good thing I brought my CD player. Most cabin owners tell you how many square feet their cabins are. This one didn't. It's only 400 square feet. We were falling all over each other and the dog. The sofa was very uncomfortable. The back of the cushions were sitting higher than the front. I felt like I would fall off. The bed had such a lump ion the front of it, you had to lift yourself over it to get into it. The shower worked fine. The old stove worked fantastic. The refrigerator was dying. It would cycle and cycle over and over again all day and night. It never made a complete cycle. The foundation was really scarry. Nothing looked very sturdy. The toilet was even sitting at an angle. I guess VRBO doesn't check for the safety of the cabins they handle. The stairs to the deck weren't even up to code. My recommendation is, STAY AWAY!!!

We enjoyed our stay, the cabin is newly renovated and very clean. There are neighbors on both sides but neither were there and it was very quiet. It’s also short drive to town which was really nice.

Quaint is exactly right!

We were so pleased with the cabin. It is so cute and stocked full of everything you need, including a bottle of wine. The deck was relaxing as the loons called across the lake. The pictures and write-up on the VRBO site matched exactly the property. Communications with the host were very satisfactory. Hope to stay there again.

We had such a wonderful time. Nice little cabin and spot on the lake. Everything was a expected and great communicating between property manager and us. We were there for our 5th anniversary and just wanted to get away but also enjoy some fishing. This place fulfilled both expectations. We truly will use this place again! Thanks!

Property was very nice. Clean and comfortable. The only issue was it was a bit hard to find…kind of felt like you were driving through someone’s back yard to get there. Otherwise really enjoyed staying there.

Fall Visit

My husband and I really had a wonderful experience. The cottage was really clean and updated and very nicely decorated. The view out the lake -side windows was great- first the fall colors and then the snow storm were beautiful. What a great surprise. Looking forward t o coming back again. Our dogs really enjoyed their time there -all the new smells.
