Nice cabin as advertised. My only problem was not having the code at check in time. And friendly neighbor got me in touch w the caretaker and then all was good . I’m new to Vrbo and the whole rental process so I missed the check in instruction . Great place though and ideal for the needs of 3 salmon fishermen.

We came in the fall time peek season for the colors. The lake was beautiful with all the color of the trees.Looks like a great place to visit in the summer too. Cabin was clean and cozy to stay in. It was great taking our dog for walks around part of the lake and to the campground in the area. We will book again!

We really enjoyed our stay at this cabin. Unfortunately, the weather messed up our fishing. But we had a great time here anyway.

Very cozy, comfortable and clean. The only negative was the water. It was so bad it little smelled like rotten eggs. Could not use it to brush our teeth or for anything in the kitchen. Taking a shower was difficult due to the rotten egg smell.
