The beautiful back deck has peek-a-boo views of the lake which is just a couple blocks away there. Two rocking chairs are waiting for you to sit at and savor your coffee or hot chocolate and the view. There is a barbecue for your year round use as well. The deck is also overlooking your very own sledding hill!
3 bedrooms and 2 bath; 1 king in the spacious upstairs (with skylights to enjoy the towering pine trees and shining bright stars). Downstairs you will find the second full bathroom and two more bedrooms; a queen surrounded by windows (and black out curtains when it’s time to sleep!) and the other has a bunk bed with two very comfortable full sized beds.
The farmhouse kitchen is fully stocked with appliances, tools, dishes etc , and of course coffee and hot chocolate!
You will find two smart TVs, one in the living room with the spacious and comfy leather couches, the other in the loft with the king sized bed and additional seating upstairs.
Other amenities: just to name a few - toys and books for the kids, board games for all ages, full sized washer and dryer, record player, treats for your pups, toboggan for the sledding hill, picnic table and chairs out back, picnic basket, and truly everything inside and out that you could need or want for a lovely get-away.
Note re lake: the lake a couple blocks away does not currently have direct beach access but we are approx 2 blocks from Pleasure Point Marina and Boulder Bay Park is about .4 miles and is fully open to the public and has beach access, fishing dock, etc. Many other easy access beaches nearby!

Stayed here with my family for my wife’s birthday weekend, it’s a cozy cabin amongst the trees. We had a dog with us and he loved the yard and the porch to take naps on. Owners were very responsive to our needs and requests.
We absolutely loved this cabin! Super cute and cozy and comfortable, and the hosts were great with communication. Also, very clean! We would love to stay in your adorable home again!
Everything was amazing and comfortable. The beds were very nice and warm. The host was great and communicated very well. Overall, the cabin was great for our trip. Looking forward to coming back soon.
Cozy winter cabin! Our kids loved it and we were very comfortable. We appreciated the space heater and extra blankets since it can get chilly, especially in the downstairs bedrooms. Location was great. Kitchen was well stocked, plenty of towels, wood for the fireplace...we had a great stay!
I took the family here for a weekend snowplay getaway. This cabin was exactly what we were looking for. Spacious, beautifully furnished, with all of the amenities, both practical and modern. We will definitely be back
Great stay; the kitchen had everything we needed. Very good location (not too close to village & not too far). Great walking neighborhood. Nice to be able to see lake from sitting in the living room. We enjoyed our stay & so did our dog.
The location was great- made even better by the sledding hill in the backyard. We loved how kid and dog friendly this place is, and it was very cute. Located in a very quiet neighborhood with easily walkable streets to explore with the dog. Would definitely revisit!
This cabin had everything we needed. The location is excellent. It is quiet and peaceful with a lovely deck and view. Beds are comfortable and bathrooms are clean and functional.
Thank you so much! Cabin was wonderful! Perfect location, not too far from the Village and various restaurants. Loved being surrounded by trees, and having a cup of coffee on the porch in the morning, very relaxing. Will definitely want to stay here again.
Cozy cabin in a great neighborhood. Nice flat street; great for a walks. cabin was just 4 min away from lake and main boulevard. The heating was great, nice and toasty. Kitchen was well equipped however a bit in the small side; not much counter space. We would stay there again.
My wife and I had a wonderful stay. The cabin was charming and comfortable and the neighborhood was peaceful. Close enough to the village and other activities without being in the middle of the hustle and bustle. We had a few questions for the host and she answered very quickly each time and was quite accommodating. We would definitely book again!
