Perfect Stay Start to Finish

The cabin was beautiful and inviting. I really liked that the place was lit warmly with a cozy replica wood stove that was crackling away just as you walk through the front door. Great view from the deck of the lake. The beds were super comfy as well. Very enjoyable stay indeed.

Probably the best experience we have had with vrbo or the other rental service. The owner was welcoming and even let us know of a weather event coming in on our arrival date. The cabin was immaculately clean. Simple easy check out. We fell in love with this cabin and will be our first choice on our ski brule trips.

Family time

Great Cabin, with a nice deck. Property was nice with fire pit. Everything was perfect, the cabin had everything we needed. It was clean and hostess left out per bowls when we said we were bringing a pet, which was a nice touch. We completely enjoyed our stay and would rent the same cabin again.
