We had a gorgeous fall weekend to enjoy the lake. We had a campfire, cruised the lake, and played games on the sun porch. We hope to make it an annual trip!

The Cabin was clean, organized, and easy to access. We had a great stay! Would recommend a toaster for the host :)
The property was impeccably clean and neat. The amenities were plentiful and useful. The view of the lake was quite nice and the location very convenient. It was a very comfortable stay.
This is the second time we have rented this sweet cottage for a long summer weekend. Property is very clean and is convenient to beach, grocery and is just steps from the lake. Beautiful views, quiet neighborhood.
We had a wonderful time enjoying this home and the lake. Everything is very clean, there is a lot that is thoughtfully provided, and the owner is very responsive to messages. Thank you for a relaxing trip!
We wanted to get away for a few days and this location was great! It was just steps from the water, the house was well stocked and clean, and the owners graciously accommodated a last minute request when my in-laws needed a place to sleep for one night. If we had a boat, this location is the perfect place to spend some time on the water!
My husband and I met our son here for a relaxing weekend. We enjoyed meals and games and sunrises from the screened in porch and kayaks on the lake. The grill was perfect for cooking up some fresh corn from a local farm stand. We would recommend the place to others and hope to stay again in the future.
We really enjoyed our weekend situated right on the lake with a boat slip just steps away. The cabin was furnished nicely with quality appliances dishes towels bedding etc. Our favorite part was the glassed in screened porch for meal’s & relaxing watching the lake activity. We hope to return.
We found the place and the entry instructions easily. Stayed during a family event and was much better than staying in a hotel. The lake was across the narrow road and it was pretty quiet during our stay (March). The house had everything we needed and the cookware in the kitchen was better than expected. Had some board/card games to play. Didn't need to contact the owner but the instructions to get there and check out were clear.
Such a cute little place! Perfect for our Thanksgiving get away with family :) Very easy to book, the host was great with communication and instructions for our stay, and the house had all the amenities!
Very quaint and cozy. The lake view was lovely and the enclosed porch was so nice to sit out on and read or write. It's the perfect little get away with places to walk and explore close by. A wonderful retreat and such a charming cabin. We can't wait to come back! Thank you!
