Linda was great at being understanding about our situation we found ourselves in.

Had a great time. Cabin and owner were great.
8 / 10Excellent·Jul 2025
Beautiful outdoor space and deck. Great parking, and location is such good proximity to the lake. Cabin was able to be cooled off at night with the aid of the awesome windows, and warmed up if necessary with furnace. Wonderful set-up.Beds were very comfortable, but would have been nice to have a lamp and night table in bedrooms for reading (as shown in photos).Good stove, but not a convection oven (as indicated on VRBO posting). We used the stove and oven a lot because there was no BBQ (as indicated on VRBO posting). Without a hood fan, the smoke alarm goes off with the least amount of heat (not smoke). Just opening the oven door sets off the alarm.Good fridge, but light works only once in a while. No dish detergent for the dishwasher.Closet is abit awkward to use, and is the only small space to hang clothes. The broken glass on closet door is somewhat concerning.Very much enjoyed our stay. We would certainly consider renting this cozy cabin again.
6 / 10Average·Aug 2024
The cabin is described as rustic, but, that should not mean poorly cleaned and poorly maintained. Both doors were very difficult to lock and unlock; i never could do the back door. We took down a large mirror because it was hanging precariously. The first time we changed a toilet paper roll, the holder fell off the wall. There were large cobwebs hanging in every corner, splatters on the wall behind the sink, mold on the inside of the shower curtain, and old, flat pillows. I have stayed in many VRBO before, all of which provided some helpful conveniences. For example, there is no need for dozens of mismatched plates, cutlery, and cups in a tiny cabin, leaving no space for our food. Some salt, pepper, saran wrap and tinfoil would have been useful. Similarly, no need for dozens of towels, and hence, no room for our toiletries. A small bottle of shampoo and conditioner would be helpful.
The big asset that the cabin has is a great location. Even with small children, we could easily walk to the beach, restaurants, and the ice cream shop.
