The cabin is located on a farm in a very peaceful setting. The resident dog greeted us daily and was a welcome sight. The cabin is comfortable and overlooks the water. It was a very peaceful stay! Would recommend it if you want to unplug!

Cozy, quiet, and relaxing!

I enjoyed tranquil mornings on the porch, splashing around in the lake, and evening fires. The AC works great! Hosts are responsive and kind. Can't wait to come back.

A great place to unplug

The cabin was exactly as advertised, including the comfy lounge chair on the deck. Cute and peaceful. I slept great and left feeling truly refreshed. Loved having access to kayaks and fishing poles. The little white dog was a welcome visitor

Relaxing, fun, quiet, peaceful

Enjoyed the dock and water. Spent most time swimming and fishing. Very peaceful and private feeling. We were able to cell service very well. We will be back and will share this stay with others. Note: You might add a grill down at the pavilion.

A quiet little Oasis

Property was just as described and right on the water. Nestled perfectly in the woods and a perfect getaway from the chaos of life. The owners were attentive and timely with anything we needed. We seen deer running while sitting on the back deck which was a fun bonus. Lots of ammenties to enjoy as well. We will definitely be back.

Mixed review

The property needs some maintenance...over grown brush, soffit is seperated from the cabin. Pics show a pontoon boat & a row boat. Pontoon is extremely old and full of wasp nest as is the row boat. Fishing was not very good either. We had a very peaceful stay, but I'm not sure if we will return. Overgrown brush will eventually prevent a view of the pond from the cabin. The chairs at the fire pit were old & we were affraid to sit in them. This property could be fantastc with some maintenance. There volunteer trees growing into the driveway by the cabin preventing a vehicle from parking close, also. There were 3 dogs at the property. One visited us everyday. He was a cute little dog. The other two are not so cute. They came after me when i was taking trash out. I thought one was going to bite me. They came by the cabin everyday to bark and growl at us.
