Better than expected. Very clean, tons of room, plenty of beds, plenty of bathrooms and a beautiful lake view. Perfect place for our golf trip. This house sits right in the middle between Treetops/Otsego and Garland, 25 minutes to either resort. The owner was very friendly and accommodating. Will definitely be back!

We reserved the cabin for a group of 5 families, with children of various ages. The cabin was wonderful. The kids played in the water and game room all day. We had everything we could need and the space was perfect for our large group. Communication with Nate and Lisa was easy. We highly recommend the cabin for groups of all kinds. It was a great weekend to unwind and catch up with childhood friends!

Great Place

It was a great relaxing stay. Everything we needed was supplied. Wet station (bar) was between living room and rec room. Had everything for coffee, refrigerator that we made the drink fridge and used the cabinet/countertop the snack station.Location within hour drive of quite a few places to see and go.House layout was not what I expected, but I liked it better in person. Awesome view of the lake, a lot of wildlife to see. Fishing was not so good, but could be the time of year.I would recommend the property to anyone for the view, location and the Host. Thank you Nate!
