This is a wonderful little cabin directly on the lake. The lake view from inside the living area and on the deck is fantastic. It’s quiet and peaceful. Host AJ is super attentive.

This property was a perfect little piece of paradise. My only issue was confusion about the actual address, but AJ was very responsive and got me in right away. Cottage was very tidy and provided everything I needed. Best part was the view!

Aj was a great host and the the house was very nice and clean. We came up for my son’s birthday and to go ice fishing. We caught walleye and perch and AJ even left a couple of fishing lures for my son. I would definitely stay here again.

This cozy adorable cabin was perfect for a weekend ice fishing, snowmobiling and just relaxing. Breathtaking views of the lake and scenery. Close enough to go exploring... i would love to return. This little cabin was soul healing... the on demand water heater was great, beds were comfy, i was thoroughly impressed! Owner was responsive and friendly.

We had a wonderful experience at this vacation property! The home was immaculate, functional and had everything we needed to enjoy the weekend. The lake was crystal clear, clean and beautiful, perfect for swimming, fishing and water sports. The nearby landscape was wooded, which included a nice private drive and trail to walk and a park with a beach. AJ was helpful and responsive in a timely way when we had questions. Checking in and out was smooth. 10/10 would do again! Thank you!
