Enjoyed a lovely stay here, cabin was super clean and comfortable. Coffee in the mornings lakeside is exactly what the doctor ordered. Would definitely come back!
The cabin was spotless when we arrived, and the beds were very comfortable. The views were absolutely stunning, and the kitchen had all the essentials we needed. The hosts were quick to respond to any questions, which made our stay even smoother. The only things we’d change would be having a wood-burning fire pit instead of a gas one, and a heads-up that the cabin uses well water—it’s perfectly fine, just something to be aware of if you’re not used to it.
Nice place. Comfortalbe cabin with great amenities. Very clean and very peaceful. Excellant host. We needed to change our reservation dates and the host was very accomdating. We had a lot of rain during the week of our stay, but still caught a fair amount of fish.
Our stay was amazing. From the minute we reserved to the minute we left, the hosts were so accommodating! The cabin was perfect & very clean for our family get away! Highly recommend!!
My husband and I booked this for a getaway and found the most perfect hidden gem! The cabin has everything you need, is super clean and best of all, gorgeous views. Even though it rained most of our stay, we were still able to enjoy the quaint little lake. We were able to park our boat on the dock for easy access. The neighbors are quiet too so if you want to relax this is the place!
I stayed with a friend. We had lost touch over the years and we loved sitting in the screened in porch just talking and catching up. We found everything we could possibly need in the kitchen. Everything was just as it was pictured and described. I would definitely stay there again.
This cabin was extremely clean and has everything you need. We caught fish(tons of bass, a pike, and even a walleye) off the dock! It was great to work with the host and we will definitely return.
Such a cozy clean cabin. Perfect location on a great fishing lake. You could catch fish right off the dock perfect for younger folks. Comfortable clean beds. Owner was amazing and available. We would definitely stay here again.
Wonderful weekend stay. Host has really thought of everything that you could want or need at the cabin. Kitchen is fully stocked and everything labeled and the beds were super comfortable and soft. The kids loved having both the row boat and kayaks available to use and tour the beautiful scenery. The owner really has done a great job of updating and maintaining the cabin!
Location was great and cabin was perfect for a long weekend winter getaway for our family of five. Found lots of great outdoor things to do in the area and enjoyed the serene lake views from the cabin. We were even able to use the fire pit one of the nights to make some s’mores and watch the stars come out. Would love to come back in summer to enjoy the lake some more!

Thanks for staying with us! Glad you had a great stay. Really appreciate you leaving our cabin so clean. You and your family are welcome back any time.
This is the perfect location for a quiet getaway. My family and I stayed here for a week and loved the location at the end of the lake. The cabin is very well apportioned - everything you could need for your stay within minutes of Alexandria and local attractions.
Brandon was a great host and very communicative - I highly recommend!

Thanks Nichole, thanks for making the long trek out to stay with us. You were a great guest.
We had a nice week. The house was great! It was a very quiet location, which we really enjoyed. We caught quite a few fish off the dock and the kids enjoyed the kayaks and swimming. The owner was very easy to get in touch with for any questions.
We were in town for a funeral and although the occasion was very sad, the accommodations weren't. Great location, very clean and well appointed. We had everything we needed. Would like to rebook when the occasion is happier and the weather is warmer.
We spend Thanksgiving every year with grandma. This year we needed a bigger place and i found this one right on lake Victoria. It was perfect. We could watch the lake freeze over and the ducks paddling around. It was close to town and Grand Arbor.
It fit our needs.
