Just the basics

Just be aware there is no insulation in this place. If you go in the summer there are only fans for A/C, and you if you go in winter I saw only 1 heater for the whole place. Me and a buddy just needed somewhere to sleep each night while we were up riding motorcycles for the weekend, so it was fine for us, but I won’t be bringing my girlfriend here anytime soon. I have Verizon and only had one bar… would have been nice to see Wi-Fi offered.

A cozy getaway...

The cabin has everything you could need and sits on a very quiet lake. Lin communicated everything very well and was easy to work with. The place was very clean! We used the paddle boat and fire-pit daily, did some fishing, and mostly just relaxed. I would absolutely stay here again.

A little tight for 4 adults

The accommodations had everything and more. The owner anticipated every need in the kitchen, bathroom and things to do. The lake is clean and clear. Great fishing - caught pike and bass. Highly recommend the location.

Weekend trip

The cottage was an awesome stay with a beautiful view every morning. The pedal boat was a blast and the lake was enjoyable. Will definitely be coming back in the future.
