We had a wonderful stay. The cabin was amazing and had everything we needed and then some. Location is beautiful, although the lake didn’t have water in the cove just a short walk down from the dock and there it was. We generally are not board game people but played every night. One small issue with the hot tub but the host was very proactive and corrected our problem. We look forward to visiting again this summer.

Very nicely done. Information was provided right at the point it was needed. The welcome bucket with S'mores fixings was great. The house was beautiful.

Very private and had everything you needed. Owners checked via text to make sure we didn’t need anything too.

This house was perfect for our family trip for spring break. The house and the host are absolutely fantastic! We would recommend this property to friends and family! The host provided helpful information about the property and the area.
