The property is even better than the pictures. It’s really a gorgeous house. Beautiful lake and the house, pontoon boat and items available for use were wonderful. It is so nice to have a boat available and they handled it wonderfully. We really enjoyed our visit

My family loved this cabin. It almost felt like it wasn’t a rental it is so clearly well cared for. The hosts were very responsive and helpful. I also appreciated the detailed list of what was stocked in the kitchen. Knowing I could count on basics like oil and foil helped me take items off my packing list. It’s a small detail, but I appreciated it.

We had a wonderful time staying on Lake O’Brien! The cabin was gorgeous and the amenities were top notch. The pontoon was so fun to have along with the canoe and bonfire area! The kids loved fishing off the docks

Such a great little cabin. We really enjoyed our stay. Everything was as promised. This is our second stay on Lake O'Brien in one of Jeff and Lindsays properties. Their cabins are highly sought after and most always booked for good reason. We'll be back for sure!!

The Black Cabin was a beautiful long weekend oasis. It is beautifully decorated, comfortable, and had a very well stocked kitchen. Everything was also very new. We loved relaxing by the lake, fishing off the dock, and roasting marshmallows around the fire.The Balmer’s were great hosts. They were very responsive to any questions we had and proactive about communicating our upcoming stay. The cabin was pictured exactly as it was in reality. We would definitely stay again!

The finishes in this cabin are high quality and very impressive. This cabin was clearly renovated with great care. The owners must be very proud of this property. Check in could not have been easier. I text the host with one question and received a very fast response. It is very easy to recommend this place. The comforters are cushy and cozy. I liked the puzzle selection. Even high quality appliances. As we stayed in February, we really loved the wood burning fireplace.

This place and hosts are excellent. Quick and responsive communication. This place is decorated so nice, and is clean. We had everything we would ever need, even a huge stack of wood that made an indoor fire heavenly on a cold weekend. The beds were super comfortable, nice towels, showers and spacious kitchen allowed us all to cook and hang out. We loved the record player and collection of music. We wish we would have brought snow boots to walk around the frozen lake. It was a very quiet and peaceful place to stay. We will definitely hope to stay here again. Thank you Jeff and Lindsay for making us feel welcome and comfortable.

I’d give more than 5 stars if I could. Communication was great from the start and the cabin was better than we were expecting. The rustic elements with modern touches gives the cabin a cool vibe. Having a turntable with vinyl was a nice touch. Our group enjoyed hanging out on the pontoon and fires on deck over the lake. The kitchen has a nice flow, so you can have several people in there at a time. After a day of enjoying the cabin and lake country you can fall into a very comfortable bed. We look forward to visiting the cabin again.

It’s a beautiful space. Thank you for the batteries. The only thing was we only had one roll of paper towel so we ran out and started using tissues. And since we were doing a lot of cooking I brought a lot of kitchen ware. On the app it lists utensils but not specifics. So really nice that you had it all but I wouldn’t have brought my own had I known. Also, the website said no pets but the manual seemed to indicate that was allowed-with conditions? I probably would have brought our very small (cute) dog if allowed…Thanks again. Loved all of the detailed decorations. Used the fire all day/night.
