Great stay!

Our family had a great stay at this fabulous home! Very well appointed and updated. Nest towels, beds and kitchen gear of any place we’ve ever stayed. The lake is right out the back and very beautiful! It is also not busy which we loved. The kayaks were very fun- lots of beautiful wildlife. We will definitely be back!

Such a beautiful property and exactly what we wanted for a leaf-peeping weekend. Super clean and well equipped. The views are fantastic and the location is great for stargazing. The pups absolutely loved the water. The hosts were very responsive and accommodating. The whole experience was seamless. Highly recommend!

We had an amazing stay at the Boulder Cabin. Great access to the lake for snowmobiling and ice fishing. The heated garage was great for defrosting our sleds and gear. Our 2 teenagers and our 2 pups were very comfortable inside. The windows facing the lake gave us amazing views throughout the day. Fireplaces, kitchen amenities, comfortable furnishings, and a great layout will make you fall in love with this cabin. Great places to eat, and a cute little general store/gas station, are not too far away. We hope to be back.
