This is an adorable cottage that was very clean. We spent most of our time enjoying the lake. The air conditioning is wonderful and there’s a new washer dryer that was a pleasant surprise.

July 4th get away

Had a great time for the holiday. The house was super clean and cutely decorated. It was so nice to stay by the lake, it was beautiful. I was pleasantly surprised when I saw that there was a washer and dryer there. We had a very nice time with family and friends, would definitely go back. The only thing is the dock wasn’t very big and it made it difficult to go fishing but besides that everything was great!

Wonderful Escape

What a lovely cabin. We had everything we needed to feel right at home. The scenery can’t be beat. We loved the lake and used the kayaks one day and rented a pontoon boat another day. The morning sunrise and evening sunset were picturesque. My husband and I enjoyed it throughly. We didn’t feel like we were in a rental but a family cottage. LOVED IT.

This place is a treasure!

Stayed here over Memorial Day weekend and it was a dream! The cottage is perfect. Beautifully maintained and thoughtfully decorated. It has everything you need (including the coziest blankets for cooler nights). The screened in porch overlooking Harper Lake is the perfect place to sit, relax and enjoy life. It was fun just to sit and watch everyone enjoy the lake on boat or jet ski. The place had a row boat and two kayaks which were fun to use! I highly recommend this place. I have family that lives on the lake and it was such fun to take a boat over and visit!!!

Perfect location and perfect setting

We came up to go salmon fishing and loved that we were far enough from all the fishing chaos when it came to where we were staying but close enough it was a short drive to fish, eat and anything we needed. We will definitely be renting again!

Nice place but had very bad odor in closet and cupboards.

Was unable to access code for the lock box due to no cell service. Good thing the property manager lives right next door and saw me struggling to get in. Beautiful cabin. Nicely decorated with comfortable beds and furniture. My only complaint was the closet where the garbage was smelled like something had died. Same odor was in the kitchen cupboards.

Cottage with charm

This cottage is exactly as pictured: no surprises! Beautifully decorated, the great room is, well: great! Cupboards are well stocked with towels and kitchen supplies, bedrooms are generously supplied with extra pillows and blankets, and blankets can be found in the great room and the sunroom. Someone thought of it all! This place is restful, peaceful, has amazing views, quiet nights, and short drives to pretty little tourist towns. We enjoyed a wonderfully restful week.

We arrived and the cabin was gorgeous and put together so well, they had everything we needed. Beds were comfortable. Definitely would recommend this place, we were able to go ride the quad trails, go fishing on the lake, and go to baldwin.

We stayed here last year too and just loved it! So clean and decorated so cute! Beds and bedding so comfy! Kitchen fully supplied! Great location! Beautiful scenery! Lakefront! (Need to rent again to enjoy the lake, both times were not warm weather) If this place was to ever go up for sale I would love to know! :-)

Winter Weekend

We came up for a snowboarding weekend at Caberfae. The place was perfect for our family of four. When we weren't at Caberfae we were comfortable hanging out at the house watching tv, eating, and playing games. The owners were quick to respond when we asked to add an extra night a few days before our trip. Communication was pleasant and easy. We would happily stay here again.

Wow

What a peaceful experience. It was so quiet all I did was sleep. The sun and moon over the lake was breathtakingly beautiful. I didn't have any dealings with the owners but the property was immaculate, big Kudos to the housekeeper. I loved going in early fall. There is nothing wrong with the water (it's well water, it taste fine), as a previous person stated. I do wish I had a larger blanket or plug in heater for the porch for the cool mornings and evenings. I definitely see myself returning in early spring. It was so relaxing, peaceful and beautiful

Not a bad property. Horrible cell service. Attention to details in cleaning not up to my standards. The dock is kind of rickety, fell through one of the boards on 1st day and injured myself.

Great Place!

We stayed Mon-Friday and upon check we had a mega snafu. This easily could have ruined my stay, but upon reaching out to the property manager, she was extremely willing to discuss a way/ways to mediate the issue quickly and was courteous and kind during these discussions. This issue was resolved and we overall had a great stay! We loved: -the decor (so fresh and cute!) -Furniture was clean and comfortable, they have added two big recliners which thankfully was able to seat our entire family -EASY walk out lake access!! We floated and swam and used their two kayaks. -location, quick drive to Dublin General Store, Sand Lake (public access), North Country Trail Head (biking) -screened in porch (reading and coffee spot) -charcoal grill, fire pit, picnic table and front yard lawn furniture. -fancy big TV for movies at night! -tower fan and AC Suggestions- Bring outdoor seating for backyard -A standing fan (AC is in living room only and unless you sleep with the door open, it gets HOT in the bedrooms) -water shoes or sandals (mucky lake bottom) -drying rack (no where for things to dry like swim suit or beach towels

Nice place with an awesome view of the lake

Overall we really liked this cute little cottage on the lake. The view of the lake from the front screened porch was beautiful! The only recommendations I would have is the place desperately needs a front door mat! It was raining all weekend and the trees make a huge mess that gets all over your shoes, but they have no outdoor mat available to clean your shoes before entering the house. Also the kitchen is ill-equiped. The owner needs to supply a couple of new pans, sharp knifes, small and large and some larger bowls for salads and soup. The water could use a better water softener, the water has a funky odor in the kitchen, but it wasn't noticeable in the shower?? We used bottle water to cook with. They also need a new coffee maker, that one is hit or miss. The beds are very comfortable though, and the decor is very cute and the place was very clean. Overall, we really loved the place, but wanted to mention the little things because if resolved the place would be perfect. And if not, the next renters may want to bring their own pans, knives, bowls and additional bottled water.
