We had a great time! Lovely home, the pool was wonderful and the private lake was so nice. We took advantage of all of the outdoor amenities like the canoe! Also great proximity to fox lake. We rented a boat nearby which was a quick drive from the house.

Excellent Property

We had rented this cabin for my mom's 60th birthday - 8 adults, 3 kids, and 2 infants and it was absolutely perfect. The place was easy to find and check-in, clean, spacious, and we had a great time utilizing the pool and downstairs bar. The owner of the property was also easy to communicate with and answered any questions when we had them. Would highly recommend this place!

Each bedroom had a designated bathroom, the kitchen had great space and amenities, the pool was super fun, and the dock on the small lake just beyond the pool was great. The house and all it offered made this trip amazing, fun, and memorable.

Fabulous Lake House Getaway!

We had a fabulous time with our 3 adult children and their spouses! The house is incredible! Host was great to work with! The setting is spectacular. We boated and swam in the pool, grilled our dinners poolside, dined together and even played some Poker and enjoyed amazing bonfires at the beach! The kids are already asking if we can do this again soon! It was a wonderful weekend getaway for us all!
