We had a great family weekend. It's a secluded area with not much around and was perfect for late nights around the fire watching the stars and a huge yard for the kids to run! The cabin was clean and perfect for our family!

Wedding Weekend Get Away

We had a wonderful weekend get away with friends and our family. In total there were 4 adults and 6 kids. Plenty of room for all of us. The kids loved fishing off the dock and the huge yard to play in. The owners were amazing and 10/10 recommend!

Our third visit--as nice as ever

After a year away, we returned to Ed and Sandy's cabin on the lake. It was everything that we had remembered--the quiet lake, the family of loons, the hummingbirds. It was a peaceful week.

Relaxing Stay

We really enjoyed our time at this lovely cabin. Quiet, peaceful location and lots of great fishing :-) Photos are representative of the interior and the cabin was very clean, which goes a long way with me! :-) The kitchen was adequately stocked and having the grill to use outside was very nice. Sandy was very responsive to any questions and very helpful. Would stay again!

family get away

We had a wonderful time. The cabin was very nice, clean and very comfy. The kids loved fishing off the dock and they caught quite a few fish. They went swimming every day and we had fires every night. The lake was great for fishing and tubing. It was very peaceful there. The host answered all my messages right away. It is a awesome place to stay.

Was so impressed with this property! Sandy is such a sweetheart with messaging you for any questions you have. This was a beautiful space for our girls trip and offered a ton of space to be active outside. Enjoyed use of the water toys and lawn games! Great spot to look into if you’re in the area!!!

Perfect

We had our annual girls “camping” trip at this beautiful cabin. Not only was it clean, but fully equipped with anything/everything we could want for a fun weekend at the lake. Many child friendly games and activities were provided as well. The lake is calm and quiet and perfect for the littles to swim. We all enjoyed using the kayaks/paddle word as well. Can’t say enough good things!! We loved it.

Beautiful Views

We had 6 adults 1 child and it accommodated perfectly. Very beautiful location, wonderful dock. We kayaked, and had a bonfire 2 nights of the 3. Leaves were just starting to change for fall so that was wonderful. Didn't catch much fish; but managed to catch a few smaller northern and a huge crappie. Missed out a big walleye got it up to the dock and it jumped out of the hook. Overall very relaxing experience. Plenty of extra blankets and fans for those who need to sleep with a fan. Wifi worked great. Limited cell service but didnt matter. No issues at all.
