Cute, vintage. Enjoyed the lake view, and the quiet until Labor Day visitors filled the area. Good base for visiting family and friends in the area. Downside was the slope from the car to the cabin. Difficult for knees not in the best shape.

Great price & we really enjoyed being right on the lake and had fun using the rowboat. It’s a nice clean lake with a bunch of fish in it. The cabin is super rustic as described so be prepared for no AC, no WiFi, and the interior has open wiring all over and didn’t feel clean enough to walk around barefoot. If you cook- most knives in the kitchen drawer looked rusty. It was not made clear that the garage you are instructed to park next to is not actually part of the property but owned by a neighbor. The garage was opened at times with people going in and out.

Stayed here twice. First time 5 stars. This time no. Mouse poop in one of the beds (really?) and even though checkout was ten, lawn company showed up at 8:45, asked us to move our cars (nowhere else to put them), had a talk with an employee, who then called the host who called me to tell me I HAD to let them mow. Left shortly after 9. Not nice. Won’t be back.
