Awesome Experience!

The house is absolutely adorable and in a great location. We didn’t have much downtime but when we did we enjoyed the outdoor space and the lake. If we ever find ourselves in that area again we will definitely rent again.

Great House and very clean

A group of 4 fishermen with two boats stayed 4 nights. The only situation was backing our boat trailers off the narrow road into the driveway, but with a little practice it turned out to be okay. The house is great. Very clean and had all of the amenities that you can ask for to have a very enjoyable stay. Would gladly stay again. Highly recommend this cabin.

Cozy Cabin

The cabin was like a second home. Everything we needed in the kitchen was there. The big open kitchen den and seating at the island made for good family time. The Generac was super handy because a car accident made the power go off on Friday night. I appreciated the blankets, the dog couch covers, and the small heaters in each bathroom, and the screened in porch. It was just what I wanted out of a family gathering space for thanksgiving and football watching.

A Perfect Fishing Getaway

This was our second time staying at this property and once again, it was everything we hoped for and more. The house is wonderfully maintained, very clean, and thoughtfully stocked with everything you might need for a relaxing visit.We came to fish, and the peaceful setting made it the perfect place to unwind after a day on the water. It’s quiet and calm, yet just a short drive from downtown. It was close enough to grab a bite or explore, but far enough to enjoy some true rest.Communication with the host was excellent, just like last time. Everything from booking to check-out went smoothly.This will not be our last stay. It has officially become our go-to spot, and we are already looking forward to coming back!
