There were so many positives here!! It was so private and secluded that 4 boys of various ages could be loud without worry and had plenty of activities to hold all of the their attention. Between all the board games, all the options in the lake, the hot tub, and the fire pit it was extremely easy to completely unplug and truely relax. My favorite spot was sitting on the deck reading because it felt like I was in a tree house. There was 1 small issue and the host was so responsive and took care of it so quickly, we barely even noticed.

We are so happy to hear you had a great stay and enjoyed all Loon Landing halls to offer. It looks like you may have even found the geocache on the island! I’m glad we were able to get the oven back up and running for you-if only they came with a warning buzzer for when they were going to act up. We hope to host you again in the future and have a great rest of your summer.

A beautiful place to get away, everything was well thought out and super comfortable. Hot tub was pristine and plenty hot- multiple awesome grills- several outdoor gathering/seating areas- open plan indoor space perfect for hanging out as a family- secluded but convenient to get to dining out, grocery stores, casino, etc. The lake is an absolute jewel and the dock is top of the line…we loved the lily pad, canoe and kayak which were right there for easy in & out of water. Indoors the kitchen is perfectly stocked and wide open for everyone to cook and socialize and the main bath has a cool double shower. One note: Description was correct- your legs will get a workout going up/down from cabin to shoreline, it’s a real climb! But everything was so relaxing that we welcomed the exercise. Also, the app glitched after we had booked and there was a minute where we had trouble connecting with the host. Once I reached out she immediately got back to me, was always patient & responsive with my questions and made us feel totally at home. Check in/out was seamless. Probably our best VRBO experience ever and we all said we recommend 100% and will be our first choice next time. Thank you for sharing this amazing property, we loved it!!!

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay here. The house and property are beautiful and maintained. All was very clean. It's quiet and peaceful. The amenities are top notch. Our hosts thought of everything right down to unopened toothbrushes just in case you forgot your own. There were plenty of board games and Wii games that the kids loved. We also loved the Lily pad, paddle board and kayak! The hot tub was very clean and a great addition to our stay on cool mornings. I do have to say the trek up and down to the lake was very understated in the listing. It is a lot of steep steps up and down. If you have any physical limitations this would not be the place for you. But aside from that it exceeded our expectations.

Family vacation

This house was beautiful inside and out. The lake was amazing! My children were finishing machines and loved the triple bunk room! Check in and out process was super easy and the owner is so friendly! We had deer visit daily and the sunsets on the dock were beautiful. Definitely recommend staying here if you’re looking for a lake house!

Had a great few days at Nokay Lake with all the property had to offer… appreciated the minor updates from our initial stay two years ago. The deck is awesome, the hot tub a bonus and the trip down to the water is still a workout. Appreciate the host’s responsiveness and open dialogue.

Amazing cabin and lake!

This place really has it all! The cabin itself is a great place to stay with all the amenities that you need to really enjoy yourself without any worries. The owners communicate really well if there are any questions/concerns. Would definitely recommend this place to anyone looking for a few days away from the "madness". Thank you!

Beautiful Private Cabin

The cabin was beautiful and had everything you needed. If there was something you forgot they had you covered and if not town was 15-20 minutes away to go grab it. It was quiet and private, and had plenty of room to play games and chill outside.

Beautiful and relaxing

It is a very nice house and property with a nice view of the lake. It is about 95 steps down to the lake. So be in good shape to walk back up. The amenities are plentiful.

Private and relaxing home with a view

This very private home had every we were looking for and more. I overpacked because I didn't realize how well-stocked it was. We loved it so much that we booked it again for next year before we left. We only left once during a 4 night stay and I was never bored; I especially loved hanging out by the shore with the dock, fire pit, and loons, turtles, and an osprey that frequent the area.
