Perfect Stay

The cabin was exactly as described; cozy, relaxing, clean and perfect for a family get-a-way. The neighbors on each side of the home were very kind and welcoming even though we were just tourists for a week. The lake was great for swimming, paddle boarding, jet skiing and fishing. The communication from the property manager was top notch and overall we couldn't have been happier with the entire experience. We would definitely recommend Grampy's Cabin!

Beautiful location and funky but fun and comfortable old cabin. Dock access to the lake is awesome for swimming and boating if you bring your own gear. We brought two inflatable stand up paddle boards and it worked out great.Kitchen is well enough equipped, standard stuff for a rental, nothing fancy but functional. Electric grill on the deck worked better than I thought it might at first glance.Kim was super helpful and very responsive to any and all questions before and during our stay.No potable water is a bit of a hassle but plan ahead and bring plenty for cooking and drinking and tooth brushing etc.Will definitely stay here again!

Beautiful Setting

We brought our two grandsons for 4 nights. They had fun swimming and jumping off the dock. We caught enough fish to keep it interesting. The boys each had a full size bed upstairs and we had a room downstairs. We brought our little boat and were able to tie it to the dock for easy access. A great trip for all!!

Beautiful view

We really enjoyed our stay. Beds were very comfortable. Had everything we needed. There were a few drawbacks- wooden stairs down to the lake are a bit slippery when wet, so be careful. Railing to hold onto at the final descent to the dock would be helpful. Also, parking for a boat trailer is not ideal, although it is doable.

Sweet Little Cabin

We've been staying at this cabin once a year for a number of years now and have gotten to feel at home there. The additional parking spaces are a much appreciated addition. The view and location can't be beat. Great place to watch the stars at night after a day playing in the water. The property manager is local, and responds promptly to any requests. There is a fun little bar/restaurant just down the road within easy walking distance if you dont feel like cooking. If youre looking for a low key, reasonably priced lakefront stay you cant go wrong.
