A lovely cozy cabin! Host was very responsive to our questions on operating gas fireplaces. Clean and comfortable! Enjoyed the woods/lake setting and quiet atmosphere. A bit chilly to hang out on the deck, but a great set-up for warmer days. Would definitely stay again!

This was a very comfortable and quiet cabin close to WEC. We enjoyed the view as well…the deck would have been a very nice place to relax if the weather is slightly warmer and dry. We appreciate having a quiet, dog friendly place to stay during ur horse show.
