8 / 10Excellent·Dec 2025
The cabin was perfect for our short holiday trip! It was warm and cozy. Would recommend it to a small family
8 / 10Excellent·Oct 2025
The cabin was cozy and peaceful. Host provided coffee pods and paper goods. The paper goods were appreciated because we flew and only purchased the essentials at the grocery store. We were not at the cabin very much because we were visiting relatives. We chose the cabin over a hotel room because we knew it would feel more like being at home.
10 / 10Outstanding·Oct 2025
Smaller than i thoight but beautifully laid out. Convenient to restaurant and easy access off the highway. Would definitely recommend
6 / 10Average·Aug 2023
I specifically asked if you could swim off the dock and was told you can. You can't swim anywhere in this lake. The weeds and vegetation come up to 6 inches under the surface of the entire lake. The yard was a swamp. We tried to step in the water at the edge of the property and my foot sunk in to 6 inches of rotted vegetation. The dog couldn't even swim. I guess everything else was fine but it ruined our vacation. Spent the whole time staring at the water instead of being in it. There is one tiny common area about a 5 minute walk down the road where you can swim. It has been dug out and sand added but if one family is there, the water area is already crowded.
