Unplug, Unwind, and Explore at Papa's Place.
Welcome to our lakefront cabin, a heartfelt throwback to Papa's place - where summer days stretched forever, fishing lines danced in the water, and evenings meant card games by lamplight. We've captured that classic cabin charm and paired it with the modern comforts you love. We have a fully equipped kitchen, high-speed Wi-Fi, smart TV's, keyless entry, and ring camera protection. Nestled right on the water's edge, this cabin invites you to slow down. Sip your morning coffee on the patio, listen to the loons call, or roast marshmallows by the fire pit. Whether you're reliving childhood memories or making brand new ones, this is the kind of place that feels like it's always been waiting for you.
The cabin is air-conditioned and features a kitchen and a patio, and there's space to spread out with 2 bedrooms. Guests can enjoy a Smart TV and stay connected with free WiFi. Other standard amenities include a washing machine, a fireplace, and a coffee maker.

We loved everything about this rental and would highly recommend! Location, comfort, and helpful owners when we had a question. The game room in the garage was a huge hit and the lake views were amazing!

Papa’s place was perfect for us. All the little extras was very nice, including slippers, snores stuff and candy by the bed. The game room was very nice as well. We didn’t get out on the water but there was plenty of life jackets and kayaks. The fire pit by the waterfront was just what I needed for my morning coffee. I hope to go back next year.

Check in and then coming and go was very easy! Lots of necessities left in case we forgot or needed something! The views out the back were beautiful, kayaking was awesome, and walking around the half the lake equaled about 2.5 miles! Highly recommend- we will be back!
