Wonderful place to stay!!!

We loved staying here! There are so many nice outdoor areas to enjoy .... the porch is so cozy, the beach is wonderful - especially for our dog, and sitting on the dock first thing in the morning having coffee was so relaxing. Loved all the outdoor string lights at night and having a fire in the fire pit!

We had a wonderful long weekend at this lakefront VRBO! The cabin was cozy, clean, and just the right size for our family of three. The bear-themed decor was charming without being overdone. We loved swimming in the lake, and the outdoor area with the fireplace and beach was perfect for relaxing and having fun. The paddle boat was a great touch, keeping us entertained all weekend. Highly recommend this spot for a family getaway!
