Very small for 3 adults, 3 year old and infant. Yard needed a good weed whip and flower garden needed weeding.We had lake access however, I would not consider this a beach. A lot of seaweed. We went elsewhere to swim. It was clean, good communication w the host and easy to find.

The water level is very low on the lake this year Which has caused the weed growth to be heavier than normal. In the spring, we have a company coming to clean up the shore area to remove all weeds!

Great for families with small children

We really enjoyed our weekend stay here. The outside area was perfect for our toddler to run around, and there were plenty of toys already there which was great. The inside was clean and felt very spacious with the high cielings.

The cabin was cozy, clean, quiet, and absolutely beautiful. The property owner was so accommodating and supportive. I gave 4 out of 5 stars for the check-in process, but not against the property owner or property itself. It appears to be a systematic failure on VRBO itself. I highly recommend.

Sweet spot

Quiet, sweet cabin to get a little time away to slow down. Swimming, kayaking, and relaxing on a bench swing near the water. Very comfortable beds/bedding and fully stocked kitchen. Really enjoyed the stay.
