It was a beautiful cabin loved the woodwork. It was very clean and decorated so pretty. The layout was nice beautiful sunroom, beautiful deck. The king size beds were awesome enough room for our family of six. The lake was nice, clean and very quiet during the week. We had a wonderful stay.

We loved the separation of space. One of our group fell ill but we were able to keep everyone else healthy and happy with some judicious use of masks and thanks to the layout and the homey outdoor spaces. The screened in porch is the best spot for dining, reading, visiting, or just gazing at the peaceful lake. A wonderful visit, even with the blips.

A beautiful place overlooking Stratton Lake which was so clear! We fished off the dock and saw some amazing fish reeled in as we enjoyed our dinner on deck. We made a GREAT choice coming here!
