Beachfront Cabin with Lake Views & Harry Potter Room

Welcome to the 'Peapod Cabin'. Our cabin comes loaded with everything you'll need for a stay with just your partner, your family or friends. Enjoy lake views from the Porch, Deck, Living Room, Kitchen and downstairs bedroom. Savor a long bubble bath in the jetted tub. Stay cozy reading next to the fireplace. The options are endless for your stay.

**Summer stays must be a full Sun-Sun rental**In the springtime enjoy views of the birds coming back to the open waters of the lake. We love watching the loons and the eagles in the mornings from our screened in porch. Head on over to Albion Park just down the road for picnics, hiking, or just large open areas for your kids to burn some energy. Grab a local bottle of wine from a nearby winery and sip it by the fireplace with your fresh chocolates from the local candy store.

Ah Summertime. The best time for the lake! We have a beach/swimming area right on our property for you to enjoy. A pontoon is available for rent (Must be 25 years or older) and we have a dock if you'd like to bring your own boat as well. We have water toys, sand toys, a canoe, paddle boards and more for you to enjoy outdoors. Be sure to get your s'more fix in at night around the fire while you listen to the night sounds of the lake.

In the fall, you must get out and enjoy the colors! Take a hike, grab your camera for photos of the trees around the lake, build leaf piles in the yard. There are a few apple orchards nearby that offer both kids and adult activities. Grab some apples and head back to the cabin to bake a homemade pie and sip on a fresh jug of local apple cider.

In the wintertime our cabin includes ice skates in numerous sizes (we can't guarantee we have your size), sleds, a pair of cross country skis and snow toys. Want to try your hand at ice fishing? We have a pop-up ice house available at no extra charge. Want to stay inside and relax during your stay? No problem. We have 6 smartTV's with wifi to catch up on show-binging, a jetted tub to soak in for hours, a fireplace with reading options from baby to grandma and warm & plush throws with plenty of mugs to fill with hot chocolate or coffee.

ā€” No parties allowed! ā€”
*Icehouse is seasonal and is only on the lake during safe ice levels. Subject to change at anytime.

Our review

The Pea Pod cabin was a clean and updated lake cabin. Three generations stayed and a memorable time was had by all. There were many indoor and outdoor spaces for group or alone time. The Harry Potter cupboard was sweet. The grandchildren enjoyed the beach and lake and loooved fishing from the dock. The sunrises were beautiful. The cabin was everything it was marketed to be, no disappointment. Additionally, there were plenty of life jackets, floaties, paddle boards, and even a lily pad. We enjoyed our stay 'up at the lake'.

One of my favs.

This is the second year we've stayed at this property and we love it. Great house with all amenities needed. We've rented the pontoon both times we've been here and it is a great boat and well kept. Property owners had a septic problem come up and contacted us when we were half way there, so a bit of a scare, but they dropped everything and had it fixed before we arrived. A property owners. My only complaint is the kitchenware. Pots and pans are not perfect but i was still able to cook every meal just fine. So that is literally the only thing i could complain about, and thats pretty petty. Thanks for everything. Wonderful stay 2 years in a row.

Perfect for a Weekend Getaway!

The cabin is located only a few minutes out of Annandale and had everything you need! There is a beautiful four seasons porch to sip coffee on, a beach area, and plenty of space for a group. We loved the nautical touches throughout. This cabin is a great value and is perfect for any group or family weekends!

Excellent weekend getaway

Our group of 10 absolutely loved this property! Ample and clean space, close to local attractions (great wineries, downtown, and golf club), and a BEAUTIFUL view from the home! We canā€™t wait to come back and enjoy the outdoor activities (when itā€™s not raining all weekend). The property manager was so friendly and shared helpful tips and local info!

Great lakefront cabin

A few friends and I stayed at Kati's cabin for a few days to get away, and we really enjoyed the cabin. Everything was recently updated, and the location couldn't be beat. While we didn't have the opportunity to use any of the outdoor equipment that was provided (e.g. kayaks, paddleboards), it was great that they were included and would have been fun if the weather had been just a little bit warmer. Overall, highly recommend this rental - my friends and I would definitely consider coming back as a group or with our families.

We Had a Great Time

We had a wonderful time as guests at your property. it was clear how much pride you take in your property and we noticed all of the little details that make your place so special. We are definitely planning to return this summer. We are excited to experience the lake, the boat and the fire pit! If you have an email, we took some great pictures that might be a fun addition to your advertisement of the space! Thank you again for a great experience!

Relaxing, quiet week. Renting the pontoon was the best decision we made. When you rent a VRBO you never know what you will run into. Below is information that I would have found helpful to know. The front of the house is a 4 season porch. It isn't very deep so it wasn't somewhere to hang out but it was great to use for our extra stuff and for coming and going! Always able to find some some shade near the water. Loved that there was a little sand area for those sand lovers but nice you stepped into grass when walking off the dock. The lake itself is a little weedy but there was a device that was attached to their dock that kept the first 10 feet weed free with very nice sand. Great for young kids. The end of the dock was weedy but if you got past then the water was OK. We did see a lilly pad mat in the garage but we didn't use it. A few small fish were caught off the dock.Inside was set up well. The air conditioning worked very well so if you plan to use the basement, plan to use extra blankets. The kitchen had the basics but here are things I would have packed: small left over containers, plastic drinking cups (plenty coffee and wine glasses but very few other glasses for adults), coffee filters, and ice if you use ice in your beverages. There is an ice maker but hard to keep up with a bigger group.

Girls weekend

Overall we had a great weekend! The pontoon was great! The lake is quiet and the outdoor space was awesome. A few cleaning issues. Seemed like it hadnā€™t been used in a while. The outside was covered in Cobb webs and the enclosed porch was too. There was also a hornets nest under the porch so we couldnā€™t enjoy the rocking chairs. The dish washer leaked so we didn't feel comfortable using it. The level of clean inside was not great. Very dusty/cob webs everywhere. Refrigerator was dirty too. The house was otherwise very comfortable and updated. Beds were super comfy. Overall I would stay again but they need to find a new cleaning service :)

Well Worth The Stay

We enjoyed our stay. The cabin was nice, clean and plenty of room for 8 of us. The lake view was pretty and relaxing. I wasnā€™t a fan of the firmness of our bed (too hard) but I would imagine it would be hard to make everyone happy in this regard. My only real complaint would be the internet tv. The tv in the living room didnā€™t want to work most of the time. It kept losing connection to the network. With it being Thanksgiving weekend we were hoping to have the games on. We had to play them on an iPad that had its own cellular service. In the big scheme of things this is a small complaint. Great communication by the owner. She was very nice. We are overall very happy with our stay and would definitely stay again and recommend this location!

Perfect place to relax at the lake

From the moment we entered, we knew it was the perfect place for us. It was extremely clean inside and out. The bedrooms were very quiet and very comfortable. The house slept eight comfortably. Our ninth was on a mattress on the floor, which worked for a 10 year old. We spent our whole week on our pontoon that we brought ourselves on the lake. It had beautiful sunrises, and we were lucky to have the perfect weather. The lake was a little weedy, but we found spots to jump off the boat in in the middle of the lake, which we pretty much had to ourselves all week. The whole area was extremely quiet, neighborhood and lake. We loved it and felt so much peace while we were there. We were not there to fish. We only through a line in the water couple of times and caught some small Sunfish. We had breakfast, lunch and dinner every day and in the kitchen, it was very spacious and easy to move around with many cooks in the kitchen. Would highly recommend.

We had a wonderful stay! Quiet lake, many times we were the only ones on the water. The kids loved all the fish they caught off the dock. They played on the beach constantly and zero entry into the water was perfect. There were weeds/long grass in the water as you reached the end of the dock but those also are attractive to fish so there is a trade off. We were able to take the provided Lilly pad to the middle of the lake (attached to our boat) for plenty of swimming fun. The paddle boards and kayaks were great fun as well. Inside the cabin was very welcoming and beautiful. Bring extra fry pans (provided ones are not great), bring Tupperware or Ziplock bags for leftovers. Extra fridge and freezer in garage if needed was also helpful. Golfing, State Park, near by.

Fun stay with family

My family had a great time at this cabin and would for sure come back! We had 4 kids with the age ranges from 7 to 2 and the cabin was SO kid friendly. They thought of everything, there was a highchair, pack n' play, extra mattresses under the beds for more sleeping room. The water off the beach was clean and very minimal weeds. They had paddle boards, kayaks etc. that entertained my kids for hours. There was a family of geese who liked to wander so we did have to clean up some goose poop, but the cabin had tools to clean it up, so it was no big deal. Plus, the baby geese were so cute! So many great memories made at this place!

Great Vacation Rental

I hosted my bachelorette party at Katiā€™s house in Annandale and it was fabulous! We rented the pontoon for the weekend and received very helpful & thorough instructions for use. Very clear beachfront and water was great for swimming. Accommodations were clean and provided local recommendations pointed us to Thayerā€™s for a very fun Saturday night dinner. Hosts were very responsive to questions. Would recommend!
