Thunder Lake Chill out.
This rusty cabin was very well appointed. If you plan on cooking there are plenty of spices to make any dish. It was very comfortable and I like having the bunk house. The use of all the boats and and fire wood made it very much worth the price. We built fires the last three nights. Oh and wifi work great

Wonderful rental house!
We loved staying at this house right on the water! It’s definitely off the beaten path but a very great place to stay with family and get away from it all. Would highly recommend!

Exactly what we were looking for.
Nice cabins for plenty of people. We have a decent sized family. 2 young kids, 2 teens, 2 adults then my wife’s elderly aunt. Plenty of room. Kids loved the bunks in the smaller cabin. Nice shed to keep stuff dry during rainy weather and plenty of fire wood for cooking meals. Very pleased overall. GPS directions were bad for getting there but a good ol map is the way to go.
