Relaxing spot perfect for a not-so-far getaway.

This property was perfect for our “boys weekend” trip of 7. The inside was very cabin-esque with enough room for us to not be stepping on one another. The kitchen was perfect for cooking pizzas, breakfast or something quick before getting outside to enjoy the lake. Although the lake was a little shallow near shore, we utilized the dock for two boats and had no issues with the low water level. The fire pit got plenty of use and enjoyment, and the included wood on the property was appreciated. The hosts were very responsive to messages. We hope to spend time here again in the future!

Ice fishing

My wife and I were looking to do some ice fishing and only had to walk out about 300 yards to enjoy some good crappie fishing. Cabin is only 50' from the lake so it was an easy walk.

That’s What We Wanted

Perfect vacation! We didn’t have any problems or hassles the entire experience. The cabin was comfortable and had all the comforts! The kitchen was roomy and well equipped. Best knife set ever! We fired up the grill every night and lit a nice fire in the fire pit our last night. We did lots of walking on the road and everyone was friendly. I was most surprised that the lake was so clean and clear because I expected algal bloom, but didn’t see any. Definetly will be fishing next year. Lastly, didn’t see any neighbors the whole time. I like people, but they weren’t around and I like that, too.

Nice cabin, beautiful views

We enjoyed our stay very much. Cabin was quaint and views were spectacular. The only reason I gave it 4 stars is that kitchen supplies/pans/cookie sheets, etc. could have been in better shape and the family room furniture was very well used; also the location (for us) was a bit remote. I realize location is not the cabin owners fault, obviously, but just noting that the area offers little other than the beautiful lake. You have to drive a ways for a coffee shop or restaurant.

We had a Great Time. This cabin is about 30 feet away from the water. It is on flat land so if you have trouble walking this should help your situation greatly. It was very clean and all the cabinets were stocked with pots and pans and some extras too. Bathroom was stocked nicely with many amenities. The only thing we could have hoped for were more calm days on the lake. Overall we had a wonderful time! Thank You, Gary and Annette
