A little slice of heaven

Donny provided perfect directions, which was helpful since the property is a little off the beaten trail. We were blown away by the charm of this cabin, it took us back to simpler times for a few days. Donny drove out the first morning we were there to help us start the fireplace up. He answered every question I had and was a perfect host. We enjoyed the dock, hottubtt and the silence to help fireplacewhic

Beautiful views.

We were after a short, winter fishing trip and this house didn’t disappoint. The house was lovely and had everything we needed for a relaxing vacation. With several boat launches nearby and the boat house at the cabin, our teenage boys were able to fish whenever they wanted and my husband and I were able to enjoy nature. Check in was easy and the house was very clean and well stocked. Simply beautiful views.

Being right on the water, with a dock to swim and fish from was awesome. It was nice that there was also yard space with beautiful grass, and a fire pit. Close to town was also a convenience. Overall a great trip.
