Great Cabin weekend

We had a wonderful weekend at this cabin. We enjoyed dinner at Bimbo’s, which was within walking distance, had a great time sitting around the campfire, and even though it wasn’t on the lake, we weren’t too far from an amazing swimming beach. My family and I will definitely stay again!

October Hunting Trip

Great place to meet with friends for a fall hunting trip. The house was as described and very clean. Location was great! Bimbo's is walking distance and there's a couple other restaurants in the area. Plenty of public hunting land in the area! Parking was easy with plenty of off-street space for three trucks.

Side Lake Getaway

The house was immaculate! The spacious, light filled living room with generous seating was a comfortable place to relax. The piano desk was an unusual, but clever upcycle. The bedrooms were nicely decorated and the bed was comfortable. Nice kitchen, though I didn’t cook much, but well stocked to cook a meal. A very pleasant place to stay. Side Lake is a nice place to visit!
