We just returned from another wonderful stay at our absolute favorite “home away from home” and it did not disappoint! This charming rural retreat has everything you could want for a relaxing getaway.The highlight for our whole family was the exclusive, breathtaking view of the private lake right from the front porch. Sitting out there on the rocking chairs with the plush grass stretching down to the water’s edge was pure bliss - morning coffee, evening sunsets, and everything in between felt magical. It’s the kind of peaceful scenery that makes you want to unplug and just soak it all in.The cabin itself is comfortable, well-equipped, and perfectly situated for quiet, nature-filled days. We can’t wait to come back again next year. Highly recommend this gem to anyone looking for a true escape!

Best properties so amazing, and Maureen the host is so easy to communicate with and if there is an issue, which is very seldom, she is there to fix it immediately. This has been our forth stay on this property, and we will come back for many years to come. There is something to do for everyone without even having to leave the property. Everything is spotless when you walk in the beds are very comfy, the kitchen is very well stocked, and the whole atmosphere makes you wish you could stay forever.

We stayed here in the past and the experience was just as perfect as last time. The cabin was very clean and welcoming. We enjoyed all the wildlife viewing, the pedal boat and just sitting on the porch taking it all in. Definitely plan to return here again! Thanks Maureen and Jim for sharing this amazing place.

Early Mother's Day

My husband and I and our 2 grown sons and their wives spent a long weekend here and even though the weather wasn't the best our visit together was great. We all had enough space and did get to do some of the outside things. The place is so comfortable and clean and had all of the cooking stuff we needed for the 6 of us to be together or doing our own things.

We love coming here every year and it just feels like coming home. But each time we visit there's a different experience - like baby geese one time, beautiful sunsets another, this year the lunar eclipse which we could see clearly from the porch. It's a great place to call our second home.
