Great Getaway

Property was comfortable and relaxing. So peaceful and quiet. Didn't want to leave!Outside patio had lots of big limbs on the porch. No dishtowels, stove was not very clean on top. Refrigerator could have been cleaner. Game room area was very dusty and dirty. These items were easy to overlook because the location and the rest was fantastic. We would definitely stay there again and tell friends about how great it was. Josh was great.! Kids enjoyed the swimming and kayaking.

Wonderful Weekend Getaway

We had a wonderful weekend in this beautiful cabin. The beds were comfortable. The firewood supply is a very nice touch. We really enjoyed the fire pit. Everything we needed was in the cabin. Plenty of entertainment provided for all ages (kayaks, fishing tackle, TV’s in every room, games). I definitely recommend this cabin for a getaway.

Dirty house in a great location

DO NOT stay here. We arrived after a days drive to the messiest, disgusting, worn down, unkempt place I have stayed. We contacted the owner who apologized, and offered several things to make a "5 star " experience. The furniture is worn out with holes, ripped nails coming through. It took us over 3 hours to clean place, after we bought cleaning supplies. There was blood on a pillow. Urine stains on the back of toilet, dirty sheets, food stuck to the fridge, abd the stove. For 8 people we had 3 rolls not of toliet paper.Owner offered to reimburse us for the issues, and for money spent on supplies.When we left 38mins late he tried to charge us more after all this. He had texted to ask us at 1130 if we could hurry up and get packed up. I told him were were headed out the door...packing truck. We then again pointed out all the issues with a few before, and after pictures and he decided not to pursue that. When we were 3 hours cleaning initially. He was going to charge for 38 minutes. This owner doesn't care about the condition of the property. He even admitted he hadn't been there in sometime. Save your money, don't stay here . The owner isn't someone I would deal with again, as he is dishonest. He never did reimburse for toliet paper (The house per its description has that). Bottom line the house is gross. The only pro of the house for us is it sits on a beautiful lake. They have out door games, indoor games, fishing poles, awesome fire pit. Lots of outdoor area to spread out, a
