Beautiful!

We had a wonderful week at this cabin, caught plenty of fish and even put a tent up in the yard overlooking the lake for the kids a few nights. Would definitely love to visit this cabin again. Owner was very helpful and checked in on everything. Thanks again!

Ruth Lake

Overall the stay was good. More steps down to the lake and shorter dock for the family to swim on. There wasn't ans AC unit , but we were lucky with the weather not being too hot. Had a bear in the camp, so I would suggest locking up the garbage.

Memories Made

Overall for our stay the house was nice and allowed us the room we needed with 5 adults and 3 children staying in the home. Access to the lake was amazing to have and the location of the home allowed for easy walks to local establishments. Contacting the homes manager took some time typically to get a response. I would suggest that the homes listing show that it does not have an air conditioner but rather an air exchanger which doesn’t actually cool the air- the super hot humid days were incredibly difficult to be in the home even with 8+ fans running so if you are sensitive to heat I wouldn’t suggest booking during warm months.

The cabin and property were as listed. The cabin is roomy, plenty of room for 8 people. proximity to Emily was great, Just a short walk. The lake and shore clean,but access could be difficult for some--all the steps.

Loved the ranch style rambler! It was perfect for multifamily stay with kiddos! Adults had space with the front bedrooms and the kids in the back bunk area. The washer and dryer to use was awesome for after riding atvs all day. Lake view and lookout was beautiful for morning coffee. The stairs leading down to the lake are scary for little ones but honestly didnt bother us terribly as the owner mentions it in the welcome binder... so we just made solid boundaries kids were not aloud to go up or down without an adult. We were the first guests of the season so I wont review the grounds/ yard id assume the company hired for yard work hasn't been out yet. The host was better than we were with communicating. I sent a message on arrival and presumed she wouldn't get back to me for hours so walked away to unload and she actually ended up calling me after shed messaged a response within minutes. The house isn't perfect its older and shows it in some aspects (windows) but was so comfy and welcoming.

Ranch style home. The house is old and not updated. I have never been to a VRBO without a grill. We had to bring ours. Algae growing all over the exterior of the house, exterior lights not working, poor communication with the owner. Not notified of lawn service showing up unannounced and moving our stuff around.Cabin was musty even with the windows open. Too many steps for some seniors. Very nice dock, not weedy at all, and very clear water.
