The cabin was nice with a great private yard and dock. The lake was quiet and we only saw three boats out at the same time as us, even on the weekend. It is not handicap friendly with the hill to the lake being steep and all bedrooms upstairs, but if mobility isn't an issue, it's a nice place to stay.

Adequate

My family and I had a good time at the place. Nothing was wrong with the place, but nothing stood out as great either. Fishing was good and the view was pretty.

Great family vacation!

This was an awesome spot for our family vacation! The house was clean and supplied with the basics but the best part was the outdoor space. The water toys provided hours of entertainment and the bonfire space was perfect for relaxing in the evening.

Very comfortable house

Accurate listing. Well stocked home. Towels provided. 2 crock pots. Clean. Extra blankets. Several fans in each bedroom and ac unit kept the house very comfortable in the summer. Long way to the water. Red Raven coffee was a great find in Crosby and Victual ice cream was delicious- all lactose free. Spent time mtn biking in Cuyuna

Great for family!

Very clean and comfortable. We didn't get the welcome packet/access info until we requested it an hour before arrival, but host was very quick to respond. Wish there had been shampoo or that I had known that when packing, as this is the first VRBO I've stayed at that didnt have shampoo.Lots of fun lake toys to enjoy even when the lake was too cold to jump in. Great place to crash at night for a reunion in the area!

Water toys make the trip!

This is a great spot, very secluded on a heavily wooded lot. The best part were all the awesome water toys - a lili pad, paddle boat, paddle board and kayaks. Kept the kids super busy and we all had a lot of fun. Highly recommend and would definitely visit again!
