Perfect cabin getaway for a bachelorette weekend

We stayed at this cabin for a bachelorette weekend with a group of friends and had a very comfortable stay. Every room was clean, well-maintained, and spacious. There was plenty of room for everyone to spread out and relax without feeling cramped. The common areas were just as roomy and cozy, making it easy to hang out together. The kitchen had all the appliances we needed, so we were able to cook meals together, and we loved using the fire pit to make s’mores. The only thing I would note is that the pillows in the main bedroom were a bit too firm for my liking so I wish I had brought my own. Overall, it’s a great place for a group stay and I would highly recommend it!

The house was better than even pictured! We had a wonderful time here and were able to catch a beautiful sunset right from the deck. Extremely responsive host and enjoyable stay.

We had 3 generations enjoying our stay at the house for a week...ages 8 to 80! The kids enjoyed the pool and beach, and the grandparents (and the eight year old) the tennis courts. This is a nice lake to kayak on. We did some fishing off the docks with the kids catching numerous panfish. The house was comfortable and well stocked, and was a great place for all to gather.Much time was spent on the outside deck overlooking the lake having morning coffee, reading, having meals or hanging out together. The host left detailed instructions and responded quickly when contacted. A perfect place for multiple families to gather. Would highly recommend and are considering returning next year.

We enjoyed this lovely home where our family gathered comfortably in beautiful surroundings. The house was beautiful and well stocked (full kitchen, kayaks, nice ping-pong table, etc). The lake and pool were very accessible and enjoyable and the surrounding areas quite beautiful.Our host left great instructions and was accessible if we needed her though in fact we didn't. Highly recommend
