Family getaway

Perfect location on Big Lake, family activity everywhere from board game sin the cabin to outdoor toys located by the main office, and appreciated having someone available at all times to answer or assist us. The whole family enjoyed their stay, even our fur puppy!

Big lake getaway

We had a lovely one night getaway here. The hot tub, sauna and loft areas in the cabin were highlights for our family. Everything was perfectly clean and there were thoughtful extras like all the cooking basics like spices and oil. Kim was easy to contact and helpful when we had a technology snafu with the door lock.

Great Getaway

Cabin was exactly as advertised. It was a great location with great amenities. I will return! The only downfall was the additional cabin was a little closer than I would have preferred.

Great stay

Great stay. We had such a good time at the property. Things were clean and easy check in. Even outdoor yard kid games. Only critique would be the grill is obviously getting old and worn. We decided to get food at the brewery instead of cooking one of our meals on it. Overall really enjoyed the stay!

Nice Cabin, but not a retreat

The cabin itself was clean and efficient. However the property was very busy (they have several camp sites, 2 cabins and a boat rental company) and often had people walking right next to the cabin - so close that they were in between the cabin and where our vehicle was parked. One night, there were campers on the property that were extremely noisy past midnight. The property manager removed them the next morning, but it made for one very long and unfortunate night. Overall this property worked for our needs, but didn't have the privacy we were really hoping for.
