Lady Bugs and Cobwebs
I rented this unit for one day. Before calling it quits, I had to kill over 15 ladybugs. VRBO and the Host were late responding and said that bugs in the unit were "to be expected." I didn't even hear from the Host the day of, only the next day I got an email. There were also huge cobwebs over the bed in the bedroom. The unit was not properly cleaned, They ignored the images with bugs. I will never use again. There are cracks in the wood panel, the unit is not insulated, just an overall disappointment. but bugs in units are not acceptable. You have been warned.

Great property.
The big show was the fall colors on the lake. Being able to open the blinds or step out the door to a beautiful crisp sunrise on the lake is worth it! Tom is a stand up guy and we wish him the best in life.

Smaller than expected.
It was a nice little place very close to the lake. The beach is small and cabin was smaller than expected and very close to the other cabins, not a lot of privacy if thats what you’re looking for this might not be the place for you. Other than that the place was great, pet friendly and me and my husband had a good stay.

Perfectly Fine
Overall we stayed and had a perfectly fine time in the off season, cooking, staying warm and enjoying a quaint, quiet experience as a small family-which is exactly what we were looking for.

Quaint vintage cabin
Nice location with a good spot to swim. Several nice kayaks plus kiddie kayaks free to use. Aluminum boats to rent reasonably. Nice dock with plenty available space to dock your own and space for your boat trailer as well. I would like to see a few more outlets inside the cabin, instead of extension cords throughout the place. However, it is a vintage cabin, and one has to remember the era that it was built without the need for so many plug-ins!
