The home was visibly dirty and in disrepair there were earwigs and spider webs and spiders drain in the tub did not work and was reported to the owner who did nothing about it. The property had not been mowed until the day before we left. Dock felt somewhat unsafe. Filters on air conditioner were filled with dust, fan was broken and the house smelled. Overall very disappointedd

Great little cabin

Came here to do some ice fishing. Perfect little cabin for us, has all you need for such a trip. Access to the main lake just a few houses down the road, with the canal out back (which I'm sure is awesome in the summer).
