Clean, quiet and the perfect size for our group. Fishing off the dock was better than on the lake.The bay was not windy.We will be back next year.

Excellent stay! The house was perfect for our family trip. The kitchen was well equipped for the meals we cooked at home. The house was clean and well stocked. And the house was also pretty well insulated for sounds, which is something that helps us out with a young child who is woken up by the slightest sounds. The dock worked well for the pontoon we had, and there was good fishing nearby as well. We'd certainly stay here again!

WE LOVE THIS RENTAL. We rented this cabin for our 2 family (9), for the surprise wedding proposal of our son and their daughter. The house was very CLEAN and spacious with 2 bedrooms down, 2 up, along with a loft that also had a queen/ single bunk and a couch. Full baths up and down. We were impressed of the cleanliness. The decor was very cool. We loved the firepit. The host/owner was very friendly and Jonny on the spot with any questions we had. They checked in on us to make sure all was going well and if we needed anything just get ahold of them. They also went out of their way to deliver a gift to the engaged couple. We can't wait to return to use the deck and lake. THANK YOU
