About this property
Lake Cabin · Hot Tub · Fire Pit · Free Firewood
Free firewood, a quiet lake, and a hot tub that doesn't care if it's 40 degrees outside — fall and winter are when The Willow really shines. Every stay in September and October comes with complimentary firewood for the firepit, so the only thing you need to pack is the marshmallows.
The Willow by Acorn Shores is where s'mores never run out, the coffee's always strong, and the hot tub has a view of the lake.
At The Willow, we believe in easy mornings, unplugged afternoons, and cozy nights by the fire. Whether you're out on the trails, floating on the lake, or curled up in the bunk room for movie night, this is your place to reconnect and relax.
✨ Why Guests Love It
🛁 Private hot tub with lake views 🛏️ Two king suites with en-suite access 🧸 Family friendly – pack n play, high chair, kids dishes, and child-friendly lighting 🐶 Dog friendly – dog beds, bowls, and clean floors 🔥 Firepit with Adirondack seating for 8 🛶 Private dock, kayaks, paddleboard, lily pad 📺 5 Smart TVs and Starlink WiFi 🌡️ Central heat + AC 🚗 EV charger and trailer parking (shared with our neighboring cottage — first come, first served) 🥘 Fully stocked kitchen + coffee bar: drip, Keurig, French press, Instapot with rice and slow cook functions, etc. 🎮 Board games, retro game console, cornhole, hammock swing, and bonus access to a shared outdoor Blackstone gas griddle.
🍂 Why Fall & Winter at The Willow
This isn't a summer-only cabin. Once the leaves turn, The Willow becomes basecamp for trail riders, snowmobilers, and anyone who just wants a firepit and a hot tub within twenty feet of each other. All town roads are ATV/UTV routes unless marked, and the trailhead is right at the end of the road — no trailering across town required. Our new winter 2025–2026 trailer parking pad sits at the top of the driveway, so you're not maneuvering a rig down a steep grade in the snow. Pull in, unload, and you're on the trail in minutes. Come evening, soak in the hot tub with a lake view while your firewood (on us, all September and October) burns down to coals for the s'mores.

What makes this property unique
We fell in love with this property because of it's unique set up, a large lake house with a another cottage next door where large families can enjoy vacationing together. We also love that the lake is quiet and peaceful and not over-touristed the water is clear and spring-fed, and the fish plentiful.
ACCESS: codes are sent the day of check-in via email. Guests are able to self check-in anytime after 4pm via the electronic deadbolt.
PARKING/DRIVEWAY: In the summer months, we have parking for 6+ cars. In the winter, we have room for 5. We recommend 4WD cars in the winter.
HOT TUB: Be advised that the hot tub may occasionally be unavailable due to maintenance. Our goal is to ensure it remains safe and functional for all our guests. While we make every effort to schedule maintenance outside of your stay dates, there may be rare instances where it needs attention during your visit. We appreciate your understanding in this.
CAMERAS: We have cameras on the premises. Doorbell cameras are located at the front doors and monitor the entry and the driveway, and there are others monitoring the driveway, cottage back doors, and wood pile. Cameras are motion activated and record audio and video and are monitored infrequently (typically at time of check-in to make sure you made it in and after check-out, though we reserve the right to check more frequently if we receive notice of rule violations) Your reservation will be terminated immediately if you disable, unplug, tamper with, cover, block or alter the WIFI equipment or security equipment (cameras).
