Great place to stay for deer hunting and more.

My friend and I deer hunt in the area. The cabin was nice and we both felt it was pretty well furnished. Worked good for the two of us and we would wouldnt mind if we could be pencilled in for next year. The only reason we might not stay there is if there would be 3 of us nest year. Great place on the lake.

McDonald Lake cabin

The cabin was very comfortable for our group of four adults. The property had a very nice beach and the lake water was clear and good for swimming. We enjoyed having a functioning grill and lawn furniture. The site was very conveniently located close to several small towns, that had stores and restaurants. We would consider renting this cabin again in the future.

Cozy updated Lake Cabin

We so enjoyed our 3 night stay! The cabin is well appointed in so many ways. Comfortable beds and living room furniture, very nice kitchen. So nice to have the lake shore right out the window. Lots of interesting sights to see (don't miss Maplewood State Park in the fall!) Great shopping and novel eating spots. We were grateful to our host for responding quickly to our questions. We will return.
