Overall, it was a very clean and nice place! Advice to upcoming renters, the water has a lot of iron in it so bring some some gallons for coffee, brushing teeth, etc., Otherwise super easy and beautiful view!

Nice stay

We enjoyed our stay, the cabin is newly renovated and very clean. There are neighbors on both sides but neither were there and it was very quiet. It’s also short drive to town which was really nice.

SUPER clean and well appointed little lakefront property steps from the water. Also steps from the neighbors, but all was quiet. My only complaint is the shower - I'm 5'7" (not short) and the water shot horizontally over my head so showering was pretty tricky.

The check in was easy just put a code to open and lock the door. It was nice it was right on the water. The sofa bed did have a bolt that was missing. Overall it was nice.

Cute little cabin

This cabin seemed small when we arrived but everything was so well organized and efficient that it didn’t feel small once we got settled in. Very comfortable and welcoming decor. The kayaking was awesome. We had a great time during our stay.

Beautiful Cabin and Property

We had a wonderful stay at this cabin. The inside of the cabin was just as gorgeous as the lake view. The owners were wonderful and communicated extremely well. We can not say enough great things about the cabin and our stay. Highly Recommend!!

Very cute and cozy

Property was very nice. Clean and comfortable. The only issue was it was a bit hard to find…kind of felt like you were driving through someone’s back yard to get there. Otherwise really enjoyed staying there.

Nice little get-a-way.

The cabin is all we needed. 1 bedroom, kitchen living room combined. and bathroom. Nice deck overlooking the lake. Private pier, which was great!! Very peaceful, clean cabin. Hosts were very helpful and quick with answers to our questions. I would highly recommend a stay here for a vacation trip.

Quaint is exactly right!

We were so pleased with the cabin. It is so cute and stocked full of everything you need, including a bottle of wine. The deck was relaxing as the loons called across the lake. The pictures and write-up on the VRBO site matched exactly the property. Communications with the host were very satisfactory. Hope to stay there again.

Lovely Little Cabin

Quiant, clean, quiet cabin and area. Beautiful time of year (mid-Oct.) in this area Up North! 10 short minutes from Hayward. Cabin had everything we needed. Enjoyed coffee on the deck in the a.m. and cocktails in the p.m. We would have used the kayaks if the weather would have been better. Bed was too soft for our liking but everything else was great!

Great experience

We had such a wonderful time. Nice little cabin and spot on the lake. Everything was a expected and great communicating between property manager and us. We were there for our 5th anniversary and just wanted to get away but also enjoy some fishing. This place fulfilled both expectations. We truly will use this place again! Thanks!
