We had an amazing long weekend at this house on Wolf Lake! The house was clean and so comfortable. There were amazing views from the living room and large deck. We kayaked around the entire lake to check out all the sites and homes. I was stunned atbhow much wildlife we were able to see at the house. Thank you for making this a great trip for us!

Clean and peaceful stay!

We had a wonderful night away! It was colder than we anticipated, but the cottage was cozy and clean, and we saw a vast array of wildlife. This was our first VRBO stay, and it couldn’t have been better.
