Cabin Full of lady bugs and wasps. Wife slipped and fell down the driveway it was all wet and muddy, so the access to the cabin isnt the best having to walk up the hill.

It’s a super cute little house. Wrap around deck. Everything you would need for a vacation. Not right on the lake but it was nice because it was within walking distance but private at same time. Bring water shoes no ladder on the dock but that didn’t affect us or our children. We will definitely be staying here again! Neighbour’s are great lots of families if u have kids. Easy entry when first arriving. We brought our dog and they loved it aswell. The host was very easy to get ahold of when needed. One thing to remember take screenshots of passcode and wifi passwords because no service once at the cabin. Can’t wait to visit again!

We found that they thought of everything you might need from dog poop bags to bug spray. We always bring all the supplies we need but forgot bug spray. We were going to run out for some but then saw a can inside the cottage. There were supplies for tea and coffee which you don't often see. We had our own but just seeing all the extras you never expected was nice. There were even some books, games and fishing supplies if you wanted to do any of that. Well thought out for what people staying there might need.
