This was our second stay here. Three old friends, guitars, golf, great meals, and hanging by the campfire. Everything was perfect just like last time and we plan to repeat the trip again in the future. Thanks again Maria.

Great weekend get away

Cabin was secluded and clean. This cabin felt more like a home away from home than a stock VRBO. Lots of small details that showed host was willing to go above and beyond.

Beautiful, clean and spacious. Really can't say enough good things about this cabin. The hosts are thoughtful and their attention to detail is obvious. We took advantage of the fire pit for smores around the campfire twice. I highly recommend not passing this one up if you have the opportunity!

Happy campers

I really loved our stay! Everything about the interior was nice— cozy, clean, good stock of kitchen supplies, sturdy and comfortable furniture. The outdoor fire pit was a hit and the hosts kindly left a basket of s’mores supplies that we enjoyed. The pond was nice touch and we also loved the cornhole set! Would definitely stay here again!

We had such a wonderful stay at this cabin. We were immediately impressed by how clean, well-kept, and beautiful it was. The peaceful lake setting made every moment feel calm and special, from quiet mornings enjoying the view of the water to cozy evenings by the fire. One of our favorite memories was creating DIY ornaments, laughing and being creative while making keepsakes to remember the trip. The owners made a special effort to include a smores kit and popcorn which was so nice. Christmas decor in the house made the season come to life. The combination of the cabin’s spotless comfort, its natural beauty, and those simple shared moments made our stay truly unforgettable.

Guys Weekend

What a great weekend and a wonderful stay. The communications and directions for arrival and entry were easy to understand. It was great to unplug. We went for a hike at a local state park and spent the afternoon at a winery and listened to music. The cabin was clean, comfortable and welcoming. We had a great time and would definitely return.

Beautiful, relaxing, getaway

The cabin and property were beautiful and wonderfully maintained. Everything was exactly like the pictures portrayed them to be. The lake was beautiful and the fishing was a blast catching some very large sunfish, some bass ( I think), and one huge catfish. We saw what looked like a large orange koi fish swimming around. We loved the fire pit and sitting around it in the evenings making s’mores.

Quiet, Clean, & Cozy

The pictures really don’t do it justice, because how do you capture the feeling of being fully relaxed? The view of the lake from the two-story living room windows has an incredibly calming effect. The cabin was incredibly clean and I was especially impressed with the coziness of the mattress and bed linens. Thick, plush towels in the bathrooms are a luxurious touch. Owner was very sweet and quick to communicate. Excited to stay at this property again but I’m certain it will be a tough booking once the word gets out.

Visiting Family

I booked this property along with my husband and our two children, my sister, ans my parents. We traveled feom WI to thia area to visit my sads family. This rental was EXACTLY what we needed. It accomodared our geoup perfectly. We utized the outdoor fire pit. We packed our fiahing fear but unfortunatly did notnuse the pond :-( we fished on the family ow ed pond instead. I have stayed in about half a dozed VRBO rentals and thia by far was the nicest and most straight forward/easiest check out process. If i could have 1 suggestion, it would be to add black-out curtains to the windows in the loft by the twin bunk beds. Fully deserving of a 5-star review based on our experience.

Amazing family welcoming children friendly home away from home!

This place was immaculate, has everything u need for ur stay except groceries of course but they do have coffe some snacks smores all cooking eating utensils u need, minus a icecream scoop lol! Very kids friendly on second floor with games bunk beds tv etc! My kids LOVED IT asked if we could buy it lol! ( ages 20,17,13,10,6,2) several lizards tht were so cute, the fire pit with the rocks my 2 and 6 year old loved and fireplace I could go on and on lol ,there is SOO many things to do and madeso many memories here we loved it and will b going bk for sure next family trip! The only negative thing was the ticks but as long as u use bug spray ( which we left there incase next family didn’t bring any and shower after by the pond or in the wood trails ull b fine) also the family friendly tvs ( not one in master bedroom but we survived lol) all in all 10 star rating in my opinion and Maria was very responsive in responding when we had questions before and after arrival :)
