I booked this as a last minute getaway weekend for me and my dog and I am so glad I did! Everything was exactly as listed, such a cute cabin on a lovely little lake. Nice and secluded but not too isolated, it’s perfect! The owner was super responsive via messaging and left plenty of detailed information about the stay/area that was easy to access. Can’t wait to come back :) Highly recommend!!
