Beautiful Quite Retreat for the Family
We had a great time relaxing at this wonderful log home in a private setting on the lake. Great place to unwind , unplug, and enjoy the company of family without distractions.
Great little town near by with plenty of great places to eat. We will definitely be back!

Mixed Reaction
Would rate 4 out of 5 for the amount of space, size of rooms and comfort of rooms for a group of 7. Kayaks, paddle boat, etc. and added bonus but if life jackets are needed, you’ll need to supply your own. Cleaning staff needs to be more aware of areas that need attention. As indicated in previous posts, dead bugs seem to be a recurring theme. Fan/light fixture in upstairs bath, under couch in loft area, in corner by grandfather clock. During our stay, we kept silverware on counter as silverware storage was a dirty cardboard box. Comforter in upstairs bedroom dirty. Service alarm on hot water heater would go off and immediately shut off hot water. Would have to reset to regain the hot water. Lower level bathroom had box cutter blade holding the bathroom vent open and vent was not properly attached to ceiling. Some type of water leak going from furnace room to hot water heater closet. Judging by peeling paint and wet wood, this had been going on for some time. Plenty of plates, silverware, glasses, but only 5 bowls. Makes it difficulty for group of 7. Property management was notified and photos provided for water leak, dirty comforter and silverware storage on the 1st night of our stay. There was a issue with the oven door that received prompt attention from property management. Reported first night, maintenance on site the 2nd day (he also removed box cutter blade) and new stove/oven on the 3rd day. Very pleased with this response but no response on any other issues.
