The Perfect Escape
This is a place to unplug and reconnect. Fish at sunrise. Paddle in the afternoon. Grill by the lake. Watch the sunset. Gather around the fire. Sleep peacefully and do it all again tomorrow.

Very nice cabin, excellent communication from host. Property was right on lake, very peaceful. Nice dock to fish off of. The only negative was spiral staircase to bedrooms was challenging. We loved the deck and planning on going back.

This feedback is so appreciated! Thanks for the input, Robert! Thanks for being wonderful guests. We look forward to having you back again! Erin
We had a wonderful stay over Memorial Day weekend! The house was perfect for the two of us and had everything we needed for a relaxing getaway. Since we keep our boat on a nearby lake, we spent most afternoons and evenings enjoying the cabin and all it had to offer.We loved soaking up the afternoon sun, bird watching, relaxing by the water in the lawn chairs, and ending the day with a campfire while watching the sunset. The property was incredibly peaceful at night, making it the perfect place to unwind. We also appreciated that the rental included a lily pad and kayaks, which made it easy to enjoy the lake even more.The property was very clean and well-maintained throughout our stay. The only potential downside is that it may not be the best fit for guests with mobility issues due to the terrain and the staircase leading to the bedroom upstairs. Other than that, we had an excellent experience and would definitely stay here again!

add some window treatments and this place might have to kick me out going forward. an amazing stay, well stocked,very clean, and no honest complaints. took an early June fishing trip here and planned to be up early while here. As nightshift guy normally, my only complaint might have been the early morning sun, but that's just me as I'm sure most would have 0 issues in this regard. a side note I did bring my boat, which I can manage pretty easily myself when not hooked up to the truck. the parking is limited, but I had 0 issues disconnecting, rotating the trailer and pulling back out. just good info for those who may do the same. also for any boaters, use the south launch, I checked both and the north leaves a lot to be desired. early June weeds were up but not terrible, good fishing for having never been on this lake, lots of northern, a couple bass and walleye for basically a day and a half in the water, and no local input in this trip. again the cabin itself is as described, very clean, and cozy. again I would/will use again.
