So peaceful

We went for our daughters 19th birthday. Wanted to give her the best day ever and this place was stunning. Lake is beautiful, weather was amazing. Cabin is beyond what we thought it was going to be. Jake was so wonderful to communicate with. Best part is there were no mosquitos which was so awesome. Bonfire was great. We will for sure be back. Fishing was so fun too. We needed a getaway so bad to just all be together with our busy lives.

The house is perfect for a large group. Bedrooms are spread out on three levels and there is a large living room and dining space for a large group to hang out. Only down side is parking is limited and the driveway is steep. If you are traveling winter i recommend for when drive

This was a beautiful location with a great cabin that easily handled the needs of 17 people. Jake was just a text away if we had any questions. Would highly recommend and if we have the opportunity, would stay again!!

Family Lake Time

We absolutely loved this beautiful cabin. The accommodations are lovely! The lake is a great size, not too big so that it is really busy, but big enough to enjoy boating, fishing, kayaking, and canoeing- we definitely took advantage of the watercraft that Jake made available to us! The setting is so serene and close to wonderful hiking trails and beautiful forests. The little town of Walker is charming with cute shops, coffee shops and restaurants. We highly recommend a visit!

A day in the woods

We had a great time; the cabin was perfect for the group we had (5 couples). Parking was kind of tight if you have a trailer but very manageable if you unload on the road and back in. We did have 6 Jeeps and a truck/trailer combo and was able to park all of in in the parking space provided. The lake was very quiet on our weekend making the morning coffee on the deck seeing the fog lift on the water, listing to the Loons and watching the Eagles.

This Place Has It All and More

This property is settled in a quiet, wooded neighborhood with the lake just beyond the trees. The house is beautiful with the wooded, cabin feel. Each bedroom is roomy, the beds were comfortable, and two of the five bedrooms had a private bathroom. The kitchen is well stocked with what you need to fix whatever you bring. The dining table fit our family. The entertainment available between board games, bar games, and movies was fun! We enjoyed sitting around the campfire, bean bags on the lower patio, sitting on the upper deck, and inside the screened in porch. This place has it all and more! We will certainly be returning to this house. The owner was quick to respond to my few inquiries prior to arriving.

Family Get Together

My wife and I stayed here with our 3 adult children, their spouses and our 7 grandchildren. The house was as advertised with many available activities. There was plenty of room in the house so we did not feel cramped. Very nice view. We brought UTV's to enjoy the local trail system and the parking got a little tight, since we had 3 trailers, but was not unmanageable. The only negative would be the one neighboring property was a little sketchy, but you really only notice it when driving in and out. We would stay here again, for sure.

First impression: This was a beautiful lake home. It looked like it would serve us well. Pre-arrival communications with the host welcoming. So far so good. But the first problem was the thermostat, which was unmanageable. I contacted the host for instructions; he agreed it's a problem. We never made it work; we instead used the electric fireplace, and no one was particularly comfortable. Kitchen: There were NO DISHES! Heavy crockery plates, too few of them for the 17 guests that the listing promises to accommodate, and NO drinking glasses. Okay for wine glasses, okay for rocks glasses, but for water? juice? We had to go to the store to buy paper plates, drinking cups, and eating utensils. Cleanliness: This home needs a serious deep clean. Dead mice in the basement mousetraps, and mouse droppings on the floors next to which extra linens were stored. We removed couch cushions looking for a missing hat, and found crumbs, tissues, napkins, food scraps on the couch platform that had clearly been there for a very long time. Beds: We were a party of far fewer than the 17 potential guests that the home promised to accommodate, but four of those beds were in a bunk situation in the master bedroom; an odd configuration for a master, and not a particularly private room. We had a nice time, but not excellent, and not up to the standards that the listing promised, and that we expected. Very nice host; nice house, but not A+.

Christmas Memories

This home was beautiful, spacious and inviting. A few minor issues with the 18mo finding random blueberries on the floor. (We didn't bring blueberries) Three of my four boys made the trip with your kids. The other one was at the hospital delivering his first baby. My 7th grandchild. Everyone had a great time, opening presents, playing games, eating wonderful food and playing downstairs in the basement with all the fun activities and games that were there. The owner was easily reached and accommodating. Take pictures when you arrive of any damage you see, we forgot and are being charged for a small hole in a wall we didn't cause. No worries, I'll get it paid, not worth the fight. Would stay here again. Would stay here again.
