Relaxing Stay
We really enjoyed our time at this lovely cabin. Quiet, peaceful location and lots of great fishing :-) Photos are representative of the interior and the cabin was very clean, which goes a long way with me! :-) The kitchen was adequately stocked and having the grill to use outside was very nice. Sandy was very responsive to any questions and very helpful. Would stay again!

Beautiful Views
We had 6 adults 1 child and it accommodated perfectly. Very beautiful location, wonderful dock. We kayaked, and had a bonfire 2 nights of the 3. Leaves were just starting to change for fall so that was wonderful. Didn't catch much fish; but managed to catch a few smaller northern and a huge crappie. Missed out a big walleye got it up to the dock and it jumped out of the hook. Overall very relaxing experience. Plenty of extra blankets and fans for those who need to sleep with a fan. Wifi worked great. Limited cell service but didnt matter. No issues at all.
