Lovely relaxing lake cabin

We had a great short weekend getaway. We enjoyed the provided canoe and spent several enjoyable hours fishing from the dock. Overall just as advertised and delightfully quiet and relaxing!

Perfect Getaway

My fiance and I took our pups for a short getaway here. It was perfect! The cabin was clean and well kept. It was a quiet weekend on the lake, we spent most of the day fishing on the dock. We loved our stay here!

Beautiful and relaxing

The cabin was perfect and exactly what we needed. The lake was everything we hoped for. We kayaked, fished, swam and reconnected. The water is clear. The WiFi works well within the cabin and porch area. Make sure to map your way out before leaving. There is a store about three miles away just in case you forgot anything . The host was kind and helpful. Can’t say enough good things about Ed and Wanda. I definitely recommend this place for a quiet getaway as a couple or a family.

Lake House

A rustic cabin on a lake; just what the doctor ordered! My daughter and I had a great time. It was fabulous to disconnect and enjoy a simple life for a moment. My favorite part of the cabin is the dock. I watched a beautiful morning unfold. It brings the kind of peace you wish everyone could experience.

Enjoyable stay

Overall we had a nice stay. Cabin could benefit from a deep clean, wasn’t dirty by any means but was stuffy and felt like no one had stayed there for a while even though there were still remnants from some Fourth of July festivities there from the week prior. WiFi was an issue but was clearly stated ahead of time.

Wedding

We rented both homes as a small wedding venue. The online photos do not do this property justice. Absolutely beautiful, the 2 cabins were great for a bride’s cabin and a groom’s cabin. Both cabins were very clean and well stocked. Will be delighted to rent again for a family getaway!

Property was nice and rooms clean. Internet was very poor. Was wanting to watch super bowl and could not get TV to work. Also phones would not work due to off and on reception.

Perfect spot for a getaway

I and five other friends piled into this adorable cabin for a weekend and had the time of our lives! The kitchen was perfectly efficient and stocked with the tools and cookware we need. We had a great time sitting by the fire pit and star gazing on the dock. We'll definitely be back!

We loved the little brown cabin on the lake. We were looking for a getaway, and we found it. It was clean, peaceful, quiet and all we needed to relax. We loved canoeing on the lake and just sitting on the dock. We will definitely be back!
