Surprising large cabin on peninsula, so very private

Roomy cabin, super clean and quiet. Loved the 8 track player with tapes, it brought back fond memories. Well stocked kitchen and comfy beds. Canoes kayaks and life vests available to use. Sadly it rained so we will have to come back to give those a try.

Great Gathering Spot

The aging Camper Girls decided to Glamp this year and what a great spot we found. Gorgeous lake views, a fire ring for our camper pies and s'mores, a bed for all and running water! We loved it.

Gorgeous views and quiet, peaceful getaway.

Family of 3 enjoyed this beautifully secluded cottage for a long summer weekend. The beds were comfortable and the kitchen contained everything we needed for the weekend. Communication with the owner couldn’t have been smoother or easier. The location was excellent with expansive views of the lake from several rooms. The canoe/kayak equipment was excellent and gave us the opportunity to tour the lake.

We enjoyed our time. The cabin fit our needs. Who needs television and Wi-Fi! There was so much to enjoy: the lake, the kayaks and canoes, the fire pit, the books, the games, the stunning sunrises and moon over the lake and the privacy of a clean, well maintained cabin.

Unplugged and peaceful

This property was very peaceful and calming. It's at the end of a road in a point. It has neighbors but, you can't see them or hear them from this place. The house is a little dated, but well kept. No TV or WiFi, just nature and family. We really enjoyed our stay. We saw so many turtles, from snappers to painted, lots of fish, good fishing off the dock, even see carp spawning right on the shoreline of this place. The bird house was full of baby birds, lots of pelicans, geese and goslings, and even a green heron. The kayaks and conoes were a big hit with the family as well. It's nice to not have to bring our own to fully enjoy this lake. The house has everything we needed to enjoy our stay. Kitchen was pretty well stocked with what we needed to cook with. Nice charcoal grill. The beds were nice and comfortable. The hosts were very prompt and courteous. We had a coffee pot stop working and they were there within 20 with another one. All in all, if you want a peaceful place to enjoy nature and relax, this is a great place to stay. We really hope we can stay here again next year when we come to this area.

Great cabin by the lake

The view and location is beautiful. The cabin is spacious and clean. The furniture is dated but honestly it added to the charm of a real lake cabin vs some rentals full of ikea furniture. If we're in the area we would 100% stay again.

Great cabin for a family

Had lots of room in this cabin. Outdoor space was nice fur a bonfire and taking out the canoe. There is no Wi-Fi or TV in this cabin so be sure to have enough for kids to do.

Peaceful lake house!

We stayed for 4 days- a family of 5 ages 21 to 90 years of age. The property was delightful. We enjoyed the views both inside and outside. Beds were extremely comfortable. We took the canoe on the lake, barbecued meals, and overall just had a great experience. Highly recommended!

Fun in the winter, too!

Our family rented this place for Christmas, and it worked out great! There is a good amount of space both upstairs and downstairs for entertaining. We enjoyed sledding down the hill and ice skating on the lake, too! The views of the lake and sunrise are amazing, and the abundance of windows allowed our older family members to watch the kids sledding and skating from the comfort of the indoors. The outside lights were bright enough to light up the lakeshore and allow sledding and skating after dark. The lack of WiFi and Television were a concern for some of the guests, but there was plenty to do without them. Access to WiFi might make the property a better option for a longer winter getaway for those who might want to get away, but still need to stay connected for work. Overall, a great property!
