Perfect cabin for bachelor party weekend.

Just a beautiful piece of property. The pictures don’t do a justice. Better than advertised. Would return if given the opportunity. For being bunk beds, the beds were extremely comfortable.

Golf trip

We had a group of 16 friends up for a golf trip and Paul’s property provided us with everything we needed and more. The house was exceptional and provided us with a great spot to relax after our days on the course. He was very helpful and made sure that we had everything we needed. We will definitely look to rent with Paul again in the future.
